well im running a ph2 955/ 6870/ 2x4gb 1,5v 1333 ddr3
on an am3 msi 760gm-e51 mobo
the plan is to run 5040x1050.
im getting a 6970 from my friend. and while that and even my 6870
can run eyefinity. i think it would be good to upgrade to a 6950 CF setup later 6970+6950
but of course i need a cf mobo first!
i think it would be stupid to upgrade to another old
am3 mobo. so its either this:
budget 400 euros (and not just for cf but for a general upgrade) either
am3+ asrock 970 extreme 4 - 105e
fx 8120 - 169e
samsung 830 64gb ssd - 77e
new case - 49e
that would be exactly 400e
or then i get a z68 mobo with cf - 99e
and a 2600k - 299e..
so its fx 8120 with ssd vs 2600k no ssd
and if i dont feel like spending that much ill just get
a fx 8120 + mobo for 270e.. im just worried that i wont notice
a performance increase over my phenom.
so would it just be 270 euros for a mobo for FUTURE crossfireing
although 8 cores sounds aweome even if it wont show in games.
thats why i also want i7 over i5.. the HT
edit: and yes i would oc the 8120 to ~4ghz
