need help

hi all,

right lets get to it, i'm thinking of upgraging my cpu/gfx card. i won't be upgrading to Nehalem for about 3-4 years until price drop + better motherboards etc. Been there done that won't do it again, done it when the p5nt-deluxe came out.. once bitten and all that.

ok mostly i play games, video editing/converting. I use a 22" monitor but will upgrade to 24/26" soon. don't know if to go quad or not.

would one 4870x2 or 2 x 4870 be better..

m/b rampage formula.

thanks for the reply, my case will be long enough would my jeantech 700w be enough?

 

[mathwat]

Hmmm, Jeantech are a bit cheap and nasty.

should i upgrade it then? if so what would you think i should get?

One of these would work a treat:

But basically anything in the 650w + range, by Corsair, Seasonic, Power PC and Cooling, and Zalman. Power supplies are so much better than they used to be.

thank you for your reply will have a look. might be why i can't get past 4ghz..
