I just recently bought 2 x 580s to run my surround gaming machine. I'm running a 940 atm. I'm figuring that the CPU which is only running at 3.4Ghz is a bottleneck.
When I decide to upgrade(probably not for at least a few months), would it be better to get the i7 970x or the 2600K? In the meantime, I'll try to OC the CPU a bit more.
I know Sandy Bridge's can OC like champs, but it will probably end up costing $500 - 600 to get a new CPU/Board and memory(if I need it). The i7 970 is going for just under $600 and is 6 cores.
So, cost is about the same. I mostly just game on here, but could possibly do some photoshop as well.
