Current system
Phenom II x3 (unlocked to x4 @ 3.1)
gtx 275
4gb ocz amd edition ram ddr3 1600
700 thermaltake power supply
asus m4a79 xtd evo motherboard am3 AMD® 790X / SB750 Chipset
I plan on upgrading to a GTX 460 with a phenom II quad core overclocked. Should i even upgrade or just buy a used GTX 275 and get a sli motherboard? Im on a budget. have the necessary cooling with a cooler master 690 (6 120mm fans). also want to upgrade the ram from 4gb ddr3 1600 to 8gb.
my question is should i use my old evga gtx 275 superclocked as a dedicated physx card? I hate to have it go to waste as i have barely used it for a year.
my second question is should i also upgrade the motherboard and power supply?
