Well in a few days after a few months of saving I will have around £1000 give or take a bit for a new build for gaming
I currently have
Q9400 @ 3.6
Leadtek GTX 260 192sp
4Gb Kingston 8500
Hiper 580Watt
Gigabyte EP35C-DSR3
This machine is going to be used as a small server to mess about on after I have upgraded.
I already have a GTX260 in the thing (192 mind) and was thinking wouldn't it be a better choice to buy another 260 (216) and place them into SLi with my new build. I currently have a 28Inch Hanns-G and game at 1900 x 1200 but have a look below and let me know what you think. This 260 has been good to me but it can struggle a little at that high res. I aint had much dealings with SLi tho so I dont know if this will be worth it.
Corsair Extreme Bundle - £369.98
Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz - £220.99
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Intel X58 DDR3 Motherboard - £157.99

I'll be buying within the next 3 to 4 days so its getting close now and I can't decide. I already have a Intel 80Gb SSD too so thats not needed and obviously keyboard/mouse is sorted as well.
