As its getting close to christmas and my birthday I am allowed a joint present from the wife up to the value of about £300. I am tempted to use this money to build myself a small form factor pc to use to stream all my movies on the TV but i wanted to know if its worth spending the £300 on my current system? I was thinking of trying to get hold of another 6950 and going SLI? but is that really worth another £200 or so. What do the wonderful people of GH think?
 
thats a great system, crossfire is an option, but new cards will be out soon-ish so prices might come down soon. i would build a nice little itx rig for steaming and light gaming on the tv.
 
6950 will be my next upgrade too, but once new cards come out and they're < £200. (Was fortunate enough to get mine for £180!)

So i'd go with the small form factor plan.
