I have i3 Processor, Intel Board, 4 GB DDR 3, 450W PSU, 22" Acer Monitor.
Now I am planning on upgrading the system to SLI Board with i5 Processor & graphic card. Please suggest the best configuration & budget is not an issue. Thanks.

don't go SLI. 560Ti is sufficient for Full HD gaming. but with that 450W PSU (most likely some desi crap), none of the GPU will run. change it to a ~500-600W. but before we start the suggestion thing, budget?

If budget is not a problem why not get a decent psu and a gtx 580. You should be clear with your question.
P.s. From where are u getting these gpus?

No point in going for older gen nvidia gpu's now. Op can opt for a 7870 instead which is cheaper than 580 and performs almost equally. Besides it consumes far less power owing to its underlying GCN architecture.

Op should mention his budget for gpu+ psu so we can suggest the best available card right now.

Yes, you are right vickybat. Then the best bet would be 7950+650tx. This all because he has specified that budget is not a prblm for him.

Since OP is talking about the 680 I would recommend him 7870 and a Corsair GS600. Will be enough for most people other than Overclockers. Then again I donot think there is any need to OC this as he will be more than satisfied with its performance :wink:

where did I reply in this thread before ? ;-)

now if budget is not a issue for Op and he wants SLi he should wait to get the shiny new GTX 690 along with a good 750W PSu from Corsair.

^^ starting price is $1200 ( from EVGA stock gpu ) - if if by any chance it's available in here cost will be over 70k for sure ;-)

OP said budget is not a issue for him - so I've suggested him to get the ultimate best and about the availability he can arrange to bring it from somewhere else .

^^ when you are aiming to get the ultimate performer money should not come in the way ;-) anyway, I think OP really should post his maximum budget for the GPU only.


@ OP - what's your maximum budget for the GPU only ? make it clear first - just send a PM.
