Ideas please - No budget in mind, although Id go to £350 tops really.


Currently have....(note the PSU!!)

i5 750 4GHz
Gigabyte P55 UD5
8GB DDR3 Dual - Ripjaws
700watt Corsair PSU

1x Radeon 5870

I was thinking about adding another 5870, but thats ~£200, and for about £250 I can have a single (He has 3 for sale) GTX580 (second hand EVGA), a card which almost performs to the level of two 5870's. Or I could have 2 for £470 (TBH, way over my budget and No doubt ill need a new psu).

Is there anything else I should consider?

Id really like to be able to get the best out of games, BF3 was great on my current setup, Metro 2033 (One of my favorite games ever) was good too although obviously couldnt handle DX11. Plus I was playing at a lower resolution thanks to my old monitor being naff.
 
Yeah I think Ill hold out in that case thanks.

Im not in a rush. The only games I want to play are Max Payne, Far Cry 3 and the odd other one which arent even out yet. Does anyone know when the Keplar is set for release yet?

Cheers.
