I'm looking to build a new system and have most of my components figured out, but I'm stuck on the graphics card.
Currently my rig is as follows:
2x GTX 560 ti SC in SLI
i7 2600k @ 4.4ghz
8gig DDR3 1600
500gig 7200 rpm and a 120gig 10000rpm
Asus p8p67 pro
New build:
2x GTX 670 FTW SLI
high end Haswell
16g DDR3 1600
Same + 120g SSD
Whichever mobo tickles my fancy when intel haswell comes out.
My question is would it be worth it to upgrade to the 670's or should i just wait for the 700 series? I'm already going waiting for the new intel architecture (which comes out around Q3 this year i believe) and at that point im sure the 700 series will be well on its way or would it?
Feel free to suggest something different, but before you suggest i drop the SLI think of it this way. 2 670 can just about match a 690 and for only $780 vs $1000. Plus i figure i could sell those promotional things nvidia gives you when you buy a high end card (in this case i think its $150 of in game money for 3 popular f2p's), so $300 of promotial stuff vs only getting the $150 for buying a higher power single card.
Any feedback is appreciated.
