help me decide!


Ok well i am building a rig in about a month, and have come to a fork in the road. I set up a wish list on newegg to show you guys what i am getting. I have a budget of around $1500 (can go a little more, but don't really want to unless i have to). ATM i am around $1300, but that is all new stuff i plan on buying some stuff used to save a few bucks.

The choices i had was to either go 20" dell, another xfx GT, or a single GTX 256mb. What would you do and why? Would the sli gt's out perform the single GTX enough to warrent the extra cost??

Here is my wishlist...

What monitor do you have now? The VC's will only give you better IQ if you can crank the res and refresh rates.

I think SLI is a marketing gimic that costs a lot and you'd be better off using the $ latter for an upgrade instead.

I don't like the Silverstone PSUs at all because of a bad experience I had with the lower dual rail model. OCZ520 Powerstream would be much better.
