I'm very much so looking to pick up a new tower (mid or full), a new CPU (I prefer AMD, my last 3 CPUs were AMD and I never had a problem with them, but I don't mind checking out Intel) and a new MB that mustsupport SLI (I do not want a MB that does 3x SLI - for I will never go that route nor do I ever see myself having that kind of money for something like that).
I'd much rather not get a new MB/CPU that requires DDR3 memory, since I've got good DDR2 (2 x 2GB AData 5-5-5-18), plus picking up DDR3 cuts into my overall cost. However, I'm open to suggestions that would require me to get DDR3.
I need a good tower that has good air flow. What I have now is nearly 3 years old and the air flow is ok, but it's limited. Don't ask me what current tower I'm using is, because for the life of me I cannot remember the model or the maker.
My budget, I'd really like to stay under $400, but if I need to drop up to $500 it wouldn't kill me....I'd just rather not quite spend that much. I've done a little looking around, but I always like to here suggestions.....also, I'm not that great at picking out good towers.
I'm good on HDD (2 of them; main is 160GB - slave is 500GB), 2x 8800GTS 512MB for SLI, PSU is 750W Cooler Master and I have XP for an OS. I really need to do a clean sweep on my main HDD because it's giving me greif and I have not reformatted it since I got it...just over 2 years ago. I figure it's time for an upgrade since most things in my PC are 2 years old or older.
Any help/ideas/suggestions would be greatly apprecaited. Thanks in advance.
