well just as the title says...
some details:
2 gx280's to replace my gts450
8gb ddr3 1600mhz
cpu is tbd at this time. currently tho is a regor 240 @ 3.2ghz
i just wasnt happy with the performance of my system in games and without really doing anything as far as testing goes i went ahead and bought 2 gtx 280's for 155$ thinking how could i go wrong. i know they dont have dx11 vs the 450gts but i thought that would be an ok trade off for better performance. i game at 1680x1050 and the occasional 1280x1080 (when the family relinqueshes control of the tv) and i like the graphics set to the max. i play bf3 crysis far cry civilization for now but would like my computer to handle really any game pretty good; and stay that way for a while. so; are they really a big upgrade? and what cpu would you recommend to pair with them? i just got an am3+ board (ga-990fxa-ud3) so good to go with a new series cpu... ive been eying the 4300.. what do you think? any input is greatly appreciated. waiting for memory to be shipped and test it out with what i have. thanks!
