Building my new box sometime after christmas, and I'm 90% set in the components other than my mobo/video card combination. Right now I'm trying to decide if the A8N32-SLI is a good investment if I'm not going to be upgrading again for another year at least. So right now I these are my options:
MSI K8N Deluxe SLI, A8N SLI, or the A8N32 SLI
with either:
eVGA GTX 512 or 2 eVGA 7800 GTs (possibly GTXs)
I'd like to leave myself open for a future upgrade without having to drop a huge lump of cash down the line to revamp my system. I was planning on going the one 512GTX now, and another down the road, but with nVidia phasing them out in Feb, I dont know if its worth it. So I thought maybe two GT's in SLI might save me a little money and leave myself open for an upgrade say next fall. Not to mention the fitment issues of two GTX 512's in SLI while trying to fit my Audigy 2 ZS in the one barely open PCI slot.
The system will be built around a X2 4400 and 2 gigs of G.Skill without and overclocking planned. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
