Yeah, I'm not too worried about that, there isn't many games I NEED to buy/play as soon as it's released
Ok, so I've been changing my mind again 
, doesn't help that I've got the option of getting a 3870X2 for £235 now, or get 2 3850 512MBs for £220. I'll be getting £80 for my 2900XT so it'll be £155 max spend. My main (on going) problem is if a 3870X2 will fit in my current motherboard, I've got a P5K Deluxe, which it will fit, but all my sata ports are in use. Does anyone have a P5K with an X2? My other concern is that I might end up with a 3850 that has speed binned GPUs which would obviously greatly affect my possible overclock. Any one got any more insight to help me with? Thanks

Check whether the X2 is gonna fit, if it does get that, its gonna have a higher resale value for a longer time i think.
