Hello guys,
First, let me write my current setup.
AMD Phenom II 965 BE
Asrock Extreme 3 970 (I think its about to die every second)
XFX 280x 3GB DD Boost
XFX Core Edition 650w
G.Skill 4x2GB 1333mhz CL9
HDD - crappy WD Blue who is also about to die
My friend is about to buy his new PC, he is switching to intel so he is selling his CPU and Mobo, and he will sell me them cheap. Gigabyte 990FXA UD3 and AMD FX 8350.
I wanted to grab those two from him and get another 280X for CF, but then i would have to change PSU too, which is not a problem. The problem is with CF, I'm scared how is it going to work, will it be a big problem for me, bottlenecks maybe ? How power hungry will 280X CF with OC 8350 be ?
I really don't know what to do atm. Nano is my wish by it's out of my price range sadly.
Or get a 970 and later CF it, if you think its futureproof ?
Ill be playing on FHD, maybe in a year i would upgrade it to QHD.
Give me your opinion on this, what do you think, what would you do ?
Thank you, alot.
