Alright so my setup now is 2x gtx 460 sli and i7 920 oc 3.8 ghz 6 gb ram 120 gb ssd 1 tb hdd p6x58d-e mobo and am thinking of upgrading what do you guys think if i do this first buy 2 ati 6950 cf then i save some money and buy a new cpu 2600k and a new mobo not decided yet as what i see you need a new mobo to use the 2600k and you cant use the i7 920 on a mobo for the 2600k so what do you guys think should this be a good way to go?

also my cpu i7 920 is running at 1.16875 Voltage is that safe?

Edit: i have 594 pound to spend at 27st as thats my b-day ;D

I think that run-on sentences are a bad thing, and that punctuation is your friend.

Also, your build is plenty powerful enough. Don't upgrade yet.

also i get 40 to 60 fps on crysis 2 on higest with texture pack and dx 11 pack and when an helicopter comes in i get around 15 fps how can you say its good then?

Considering English isn't your first language, you're not too bad so don't worry about it.

I'd say wait until early next year for Ivybridge (New intel CPUs) and the next generation Graphics cards (GTX 6XX/AMD 7XXX) before you upgrade. Your current build is solid and the FPS in Crysis 2 with DX11 and texture packs installed is pretty good compared to others i've seen.

I'd say you have a nice build, but like others, I'd say wait for a bit and you'll be able to get the next best hardware available.

Because Crysis 2 on DX11 with super duper graphics is a stupid test of computer performance that almost no other games will parallel.

Turn down your settings a little if you're having issues; there's no point in spending hundreds of pounds because one, maybe two games won't reach super max settings.
