I've been thinking about upgrading in a few months, to a Quad Core CPU, SLi Mobo, and an 8800GT.

I think it would be easier to get a CPU/Mobo combo, what do you think?


And would it be wise to add another 8800GT?

I'll also upgrade to 64bit, lol, since I have 4Gigs of Ram, and am using a 32bit OS.


Here are a few things I've been looking at:
EVGA 680i with Q6700

EVGA 680i with Q6600

Asus P5N-E SLI with Q6600

Thanks.

I'm really not an invidia fan and would suggest getting a hd 3870, but as for your question...

second one because the board has 3 16x pci express slots. This means that you can hook up three 8800gt's if you wanted to (but i wouldn't suggest because SLI i not near as efficient as crossfire)
 
I already own an 8800GT and dont feel like selling and rebuying.



I may go with the E8400 instead of the Quad Core.




Thanks.

The 8800gt isn't triSLI capable. Only 8800GTX,Ultra,9800 and so on.
