I recently overhauled my gig (excluding the GPU):
Windows 8, Intel Core i7-3930K 6-Core, EVGA NVIDIA GTX 560Ti, ASUS Sabertooth X79, 4x8 GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600MHz, Samsung 128GB SSD (supplemented with a 1TB disk and 3TB NAS), CoolerMaster HAF 932, Corsair H100 w/ push/pull
(I was previously running Core2 Quad on an ASUS P5B deluxe w/ 4GB DDR2 & disk drives which I setup in 2006 or so; the gig is still capable and I'm going to give it to my brother-in-law)
Anyway, so I'm "bottlenecked" (if you can really call it that) at the GPU and I'm always dreaming about upgrades for fun; I'm curious what the community would recommend for potential options.
What are the pros/cons on a new high-end single card compared to an additional 560Ti for SLI setup?
What are the benefits on waiting a year or so for better GPUs / prices of current GPS to drop?
I play alot of Civ V and it flies right now (until late game marathon/huge as can be expected), and all RPGs fly on max high, so I have the time to wait. Like I said, just curious.
Thanks for your input.
