Would you spend like 650 pounds on....

New PC parts using your credit card?...Cause I'm thinking about it.

Here is my system so far.

AMD 1100T X6 3.8GHz
Nvidia GTX 570 Sonic Platinum
Asus M4A89GTD-Pro
8GB Crucial DDR3 1333MHz
Fatal1ty 550w PSU

Plus things like SSd's Blu-Ray drives and X-Fi Titanium etc.

...But I was thinking about buying (and eventually selling my 570)

2x XFX Radeon 6970
and a Corsair 850w PSU.

Thats like 650gbp

My system won't support SLI, and I'm using an AMD Chipset with an AMD CPU

So if I wanted SLI using 570's I would have to replace the board, and the PSU and get another 570 - The only AMD board that does nForce for SLI is the Crosshair IV Formula and that's expensive, basically that all adds up to more money than what I suggested here.

Besides I should really go with an all AMD/ATI system considering what I have already

What do you think?

I have a 25" monitor and a 42" tv so I don't need any of that stuff.

I'd save the £650 and give it 6 months till new gens are out.

Is your current system really struggling with anything?

If you were wise, you'd send the money to me instead
