Hi folks, I'm on the verge of scratching an upgrade itch I've had for a while and I've hit a bit of a brick wall over the final details. So I'd appreciate some suggestions.
Ok so I'm currently running this:
Phenom II x2 555 @ 3.8GHz
Sapphire HD5770 1024
+2 x 2GB DDR3/SSD/Xonar etc.
Now I have ~£300 - 375 to spend and I'm torn between upgrading to either:
i5 2500k + P67 Mobo and a 2nd 5770/6770 in CF
or
a Phenom II x 4 965 or up and a Geforce 560ti plus a couple o' sticks o' RAM
This is all based on the assumption that any other parts will play nice with any upgrades.
Now, I know the 2500k reigns supreme as far as CPUs go, and from what I've read a CF 5770/6770 ~ 5870 ~ 560ti but I am a little wary of CF - I've never had a multi GPU setup before and you hear stories, y'know?
Anyway, any words of wisdom appreciated!
