It's good because it has the PCI-E but it's SLI. You might be able to find a bit of a more powerful one for about the same price if you get away from SLI. What about the one we recommended? Or was it out of stock, I don't remember.

THe problem is that it's a bundle setup, as I mentioned before I have to buy a few pieces at a time due to the cost. To upgrade to what I want with the way that site sets it up would require me to cough up several hundred more dollars then I can do in one swoop. I have to buy this stuff by a budget. I can spare a hundred to two hundred for one piece not 300-500 on a bundle.
In order to buy the bundle that why I would have to put off the purchase for quite a while yet. Which I'm considering but in the meantime I'm just looking at other things. I would like to update the processor and buy RAM along with it. The major quirk that seems to bug me is that I can't can't tell from the picture but it looks like it only has two ram slots. I would rather have the four.
And I still don't understand what's SLI and why is it that bad?

lol SLI isn't bad, essentially it gives you the ability to use two vid cards, but a lot of games don't support it ata ll, which sucks. I mean its nice and all but for the like one or two games that you MIGHT be interested in playing that actually support it, its not worth it. But you DONT have to have both vid cards in there, you can have the single one and its fine. Bundles are more expensive but you get all the stuff for pretty good prices. If you decide to go with that one you posted, just make sure you get the correct vd card(s) and ram and all that crap.

I already have a video card for it I bought the one you recommended XD. As far as the SLI goes, in other words it's fine to have even if you don't use two video card?

Yep, you can use just one card with SLI. So don't bother picking up the second card and setting up the mobo for SLI.

I found a decent processor for a decent price. www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=A64-5200CS&show=r When I looked around every other major carrier was selling this for at least 30 dollars or more. So I went ahead and pick one up. Even with the combo you showed me it would cost about this much to purchase the same just to upgrade to that processor alone. |
