Budget? US, Canada, or some other currency?
inb4 Ocelot 480/5970
Get a 4850 or 5770 instead of a 9800.

I have arctic silver 5 already and my budget is 270 USD
and on the 9800GTX+ I plan on SLIing with the one i already have.
Gunna be hard getting a decent upgrade...
If i was you, your best option would be to SLi another 9800

So basically the upgrades I picked are fine?
Urm wait.
[editline]03:58PM[/editline]
Can you go above 270?
[editline]03:59PM[/editline]
like 350 or 320 like in your build?
What 14+ thread. 3 of which ask if you should upgrade.
The problem is i think you should upgrade your motherboard + processor to AMD because it's cheap and performs well but if you want to get another 9800gtx then you have the budget to get a mobo + cpu but you would need ddr3 ram...

What AMD processor were you thinking of? 6 core?
3 computers and 14+ threads just doesnt seem to go together.

I know they aren't good motherboards but they support DDR2 and if you want to get a decent processor then you cant really afford new ddr3 4gb ram

[editline]04:32PM[/editline]

[editline]04:32PM[/editline]

This would only be for DX11, and the power of that card means that it will run shitty with it on. I'd get the 4870.

uh what
5770 roughly= 4870
so you're paying $15 more for a card that performs the same and has fewer features
sounds like a smart use of money

I mean it would run shitty running DX11
I don't see how that means you should pay more for the same performance
[QUOTE=tommyc225;22043621]I mean it would run shitty running DX11[/QUOTE]
And the 4870 wouldn't run DX11 at all.
The 4870 only get like +4FPS in crysis... Get the 5770.
Ah sorry, the 4870 is cheaper here in the UK
