Ok, upgrading from my sig, heres what i have so far on the way:
intel x6800 + Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme
evga 8800 ultra
coolermaster 690 case
2gigs ddr2 800 ram
I will be using this new computer for primarily games, specifically crysis.
Now, the question is which motherboard should i go for? I want SLI, and while looking through the boards most of them dont run at x16 in both slots. Is there a major performance loss/gain with 16x both slots?
I will also be modding the 690 case, i have never done a case mod before, but i think this will be a simple first start, i own a dremel with the appropriate cutting tools, does anyone have a simple guide on how to put a window on the side?
