i have £200 plus maybe another £50 next week should i sell my ps3 and upgrade my pc then sell my current pc to buy the GFX card.

i've been going round in circles all day any suggestions welcome.
would like noticable performance over the rig i have now. Forget about GFX cards i can get one in a few months when the market settles down

LOL looking at the i5 oc bundle or the amd bundle 955@ 3.8 think it was
can't make my mind up tho

will i lose much if i x fire on the i5 board with it only being 8x8

WOW

that crosshair formula 3 almost made me dribble looking at it

8 x 8 Vs 16 x 16 is small you wont notice it.

the i5 is faster, but the AMD bundle, down the road you can upgrade the cpu to a 6 core when AMD release them that is. only if the mobo will support through a bios update.
