When tax returns come in, Im upgrading the PSU most likely, and getting another 8GB of RAM, and probably another 560ti to SLI.. and an SSD for my Operating System.

What do you think?

bump for replies.

do you plan on doing minor gaming? I can find you a better card and mobo.

 

[Keith]

I currently have the card...and whats wrong with the mobo? Lol..

Right now I'm running 8GB of DDR2 800Mhz, with the 560ti, playing BF3 on High settings..with 120FPS~ with VS off.

You're gonna get parts like these, may as well get a processor to conplement them. In other words: get Intel. The i5 2500k, for example
