Any idea of how much better the XIGMATEK HDT-S1284 is over the XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 ?

And any idea of where to get the Titan TTC-NK85TZ, and shipped to Denmark?

Not that much difference just pick what you prefer/is available/cheapest

Hi guys,

I'm looking to upgrade my rig, specs are in the thing to the left.

I don't want to upgrade anything that will give me little to no increase in performance, but any advice would be nice =)

Thanks,
-Valen

i'm suffering deja vu.

Video cards is an option, but with crossfire its not that neccesary. I'd wait.

Most games I play (On a long term basis) don't support crossfire, so a single HD3870 isn't really packing much punch.

Have you tried using http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=290971 to enable crossfire in some games? It helped me in a couple of games which didn't like crossfire.

I'm strongly wanting an Antec 1200 case, but I don't like blue..

Does anyone know how complicated it would be to replace all of the blue fans with some others?
