    considering sli x2 gtx 560 ti pny oc1

    Thanks i7baby also in your personal opinion would you get a second gpu installed into this system because I've been told that the current gpu will not be sufficient for games like gtav, civ5, borderlands, which I'm intending to play and apparently the same goes for the cpu???

    buying a new cpu... help needed please
