Another "which pre-built" question

[Madals]

Right, so I am comparing the pre-built systems on OCUK and cannot decide between 3 and was hoping for advice.

If you want to add another 480 GTX then you need to look at the Intel systems as the AMD can only do Crossfire, also you would need to upgrade the PSU on both machines.

Between the two Intel machines I probably father the first one.

So is it worth switching out the gtx480 in the amd option for the equivalent ati card?

 

[RJC]

The closest would be the 5870 which you can go crossfire, AMD (ATI) are due to launched there new range other the coming months.

Ok I will consider that, but at this stage if I were to keep the single 480 in all of the systems would you still favour the first?
