Thanks in advance.
 
By 1155 socket, do you mean the Motherboard? I could upgrade it to Asus Sabertooth 990FX, would that make a difference? The extra cost isn't much.
 
I'm planning on gaming with this set up. Would the difference between the two set ups be huge? The SLI setup is about 100 pounds cheaper than the set up with the single 560. I want to be able to upgrade this machine once parts get outdated without having to replace too much, like the motherboard and such.
 
I'm using a website to build the PC and the only motherboard available is Intel H67 Chipset Motherboard with the 2500k option. Would i see a big difference in performance from these two setups though. I don't mind upgrading next year.
 
If i were to choose the cheaper option with the SLI 550 and the AMD II 1100 BE, would i still get a good gaming rig? Also would i still be able to update the Cpu or Graphic card later on?
 
I'm not ignoring anyone, if i did i apologise. I just type half a reply then do something else then finish, by that time someone has already replied as well. I don't have any experience at all really with building a computer. I used *Don't link to competitors!* because it seems like the best option to buy a custom ready built system with decent specs at a reasonable price.
 
I am willing to spend up to a maximum of 900 pounds, i don't mind paying extra if it means i get a better system. If i'm spending hundreds an extra 50 or so won't hurt. BTW thanks for all your help so far, much appreciated. So with a budget of 900, which part could be upgraded further to boost performance the most?

Cheers
