I think I'm all set, whew!  |
just curious why you went with two 512mb ddr3 DX10 NVIDIA 9800's when its better (im told) and cheaper to have one 1gb ddr3 DX10 NVIDIA 9800
im just wondering, since the 1gb and the 512mb 9800 cards are only $5.00 difference in price, and i know you dont have to run SLI just because you have an SLI board, so why did you get two small cards instead on just one big one?
if you dont have a good answer then please dont take this the wrong way because im not trying to make a point here im just trying to understand why you made that choice and the reason behind it.
i am building one for my nefew and i will be using the AMD 920 and a single 1gb 5770 ddr5 DX11 card
