Will be ordering parts to build a pc from newegg this wednesday. The last time I did was 2001 so I cant afford to build new one too often. Im abit torn if I should go with a 680i MB with two 8800 GTS cards or find a MB and just get single GTX card. My play style is mmorpgs, I barely touch FPS or very intensive games unless it has rpg elements like Elders or M&M but I would like to future proof this rig as best I can. So 90 percent of the time this year I imagine its going to be World of Warcraft (which I get 5-10fps with now lol). Does that game even make use of SLI? I fear wasting second $400 card especially when my cpu is budgeted at E6600 duo core 2.4
I dont have problem if SLI assets will not be used right away as long it is the forseeable future. My luck they find a new tech and we go back to single cards next year and I feel like I was taken as bad as 1066 RD RAM PCs last time.
Otherwise I planned on going with:
EVGA 680I SLI MB
2X EVGA 8800GTS SLI
GameXstream 700 PS
Lian Li Plus 2 case
Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4
CorSair XMS2 2GB DDR2 800
WD Raptor WD1500
Got 5ms Samsung LCD already from the Best Buy sale. First LCD ever and its 22 inches of bliss
1680x1055
