Crossfire upgrade 2 x HD3850s to 2 xHD4890s?

[Blue frog]

Thinking of upgrading crossfired sapphire HD3850s to crossfired XFX HD4890s. Running on a Maximus formula with and Oced E6750 running at 3.4Ghz. Watercooling on Northbridge but air on the CPU. Lokking at costing about £280 for the upgrade which is all i can afford at this time.

I was planning to upgrade the E6750 to a Q8400 soon aswell as i thinkthis will be bottlenecking the system at the moment as i understand the Q8400 OCs well.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

very nice, but my suggestion is 2 wait for Q3 when ATI is most probably going to realease new GFX's. Then upping to a q9550 or q9650 with a CF of 5850 will be totally kick-ass and you have time to save some more money.
