Hi guys,

My PC at the moment:

AMD Phenom II 955 @ 3.60Ghz (OC'd)
8GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM (x4 2GB)
Patriot Torqx 2 60GB SSD
1TB Samsung F3 (storage)
500GB WD Black (Steam / Games)
Palit 2GB GTX 460 in Sli
Asus M4N82 Deluxe Motherboard
OCZ 700W Mod Extreme PSU.

Any upgrades to help with gaming or is it time for a new PC?

Does your system have any problems with gaming? What res do you use?

Was about to ask that also :cool:

I don't see what game you couldn't run with a build like that surely or am I blinded by the SLI..

It's not like your parts are really old..

1680 x 1050 using nVidia Stereo 3D in certain games.
In Skyrim (not in 3D) I'm getting between 30-60 fps. Annoying when it does drop down to 30 though!

Close your eyes for a few seconds then and stop moving, you'll be back up in FPS.

See an optician for laser eye surgery, it's cheaper then buying a new system.

Tested with a GTX 580 (currently about the SLI GTX 460 performance)
