the budget goes up, yes, but you'd be saving over the long term cuz you dont need to upgrade as soon ;p
unless you get the upgrade itch ofc...lol

Just noticed this, is there much difference between this and the one in my spec, hardly any price difference.

tbh with the extra budget I am moving away from wanting to xfire but still want to overclock if thats still ok with the psu? so maybe just downgrade the mobo to the one below and save £30?

Nice board

Offer ends Wednesday morning

 

[tamzzy]

if you dont want to run dual gpu, the non "x" d3h will do just fine. so will a 550w psu

so it wouldn't gimp my rig too much with this mobo as opposed to the other one?

Wow thanks again guys, so much info

Ok well I have a alternative now I have saved cash on the mobo and have realised I have a cd drive going spare. I also downgraded the HDD to 500gb to get a SSD, now I guess I need to decide if a 1TB is more essential than a SSD.....mmmm
