Hi, i am kinda new to these forums and not quite what you would call a computer genius. I built my first rig about 2 years ago. Basic stats are 6g DDR3 ram, 2x 500 seagate set in RAID 0, OCZ 700w prostream (just replaced), Asus P6T motherboard, and a Gigabyte GTS 250 1g.
For the last little while I have been considering upgrading to SLI. However a friend has told me that instead of going with 2x GTS 250 in SLI i should upgrade to a GTX 480 or the new 590. I am running dual monitors; one at 1920 x 1080 the other is a old leftover and runs at 1280 x 1024. I am not that attached to the second monitor and would have no problem ditching it for SLI
I figured i would log onto the OCF and ask the pros. What creates the better system/what would you recommend? I really don't want to dish out $700 for a video card but I am fairly flexible on the price. Thanks for your time. (If you need more info don't hesitate to ask)
