Motherboard for sli

[Tonstir]

So I found a sweet deal on a motherboard, and I'm debating on buying 2 gtx 460's for sli for 320$ or one gtx 470. This creates a problem because I'm not sure if my motherboard is good for sli. So without further adu here it is..

any advice would be appreciated and thoughts on graphics card choice for games such as starcraft 2 and wow

definitely an sli board... better than average p55 for sli (2x8x slots)... should be very nice with an i7 860 and a couple of those gig 460's...

1055t
SLI mobo w/SLI x16 and x16
8GB DDR3
GTX 460 768mb x2

weigh the PSU options and price of the GTX 460 cards.

can get 768mb video cards for 150 each, that's better than paying 220 for the 1GB models and getting the same performance. $300 vs $440

spend extra cash on SSD and 3rd party HSF for CPU

I'd go 4gb ram and a 1090t black edition if your budget restricted to get the unlocked multi. My motherboard in gaming rig is am3 board with dual x16 pci-e using nvidia 980 chipset

460 x2 is much better than a single 470 and I would think a single 460 would be more than good enough to play the games mentioned above, you may even want to consider a 6850/6870 here is a review off a 6850 in xfire and 460 in sli.

I would personally go for a 6850 in xfire if you wanted a two card config because it cost about the same as a 1gb 460 in sli over here in the uk and two 6850 perform similar if not better in some cases, but the two 6850 draw much less power than a 460 in sli and that is the key point for me.
