I am running an i7-2600K, with 8GB of 1600 RAM. I have an Intel X25 40GB SSD, which is full to capacity and seems to be running much slower than when it wasn't.
I have a 750Watt Cooler Master PSU. I am running an 6850 on a single slot.
My question as I look forward to picking up my copy of Battlefield 3 tonight is, now that I feek comfortable spending a bit more money on the machine -
1. Is it worth me getting another 6850 and putting it in Crossfire? Am I better off just getting another card reasonably priced (remembering I got the 6850 in the first place as I didn't want to go full top end) - but would I get anything for my old one? Also my machine runs kind of quiet and cool now. Will running Crossfire make it hot and noisy?
2. Will bringing me up to 16GB improve my gaming performance?
3. Should I invest in a bigger SSD or is installing on the HDD good enough? If so what model?
Thank you.
