Hi everyone,
I'm building a new gaming rig with the following specs:
Mobo: Undecided as of yet (probably the Gigabyte EP45-UD3L - opinions welcomed!)
RAM: 2x2GB sticks of Corsair 800Mhz
PSU: Coolermaster Silent Pro 700W Modular
CPU: Q9550
Hard drive: 500GB Western Digital 7200rpm
Graphics card: ????
Monitor: HD-out to a 37' full-HD TV
Basically my dilema is whether or not a 295GTX is going to be worth the extra $80Aus or so? At the moment i'm leaning heavily towards the 4870X2 as the general concensus is the 295 IS better, but only somewhat so. I will be playing new and future games on this PC build and will be playing primarily on the screen mentioned above.
What does everyone think?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
