the psu is actually really nice i just forgot the brand and didnt feel like getting up to check, its a xion supernova, wasnt cheap either

so i checked and compared the specs, the 9800 has a 760mhz core clock vs the 650 of mine and the otherss speeds are about 200-250mhz faster,

ok so i built an awsome computer about four months ago and got the best stuff i could, and now i want better stuff.

so what i have is

xfx 680i lt sli

e8400 3.00ghz

ocz reaper ram ddr2 800, 4 (2x2gig)

250 western digital hdd 7200rpm

antec 900 series gaming case

eVGA 8800gts 512mb

vista home premium 64bit

dvd/cd burner

600w psu

ok so i want to buy another video card, but now that i look its only like 30 bucks more to buy a new 9800gtx over the same 8800gts i bought, so i know that you can only expect at best an 80 percent increase in performance w/ two cards in sli, so the question is, which is better: sell the 8800gts i have and put the money toward a 9800gtx, or buy a second 8800gts?

what do guys think, which will perform better? which should i buy?

You don't need an extended warranty, and you don't have to pay shipping if you just walk into the store...

its still a gateway, not that they are terrible, but they arent exactly creme of the crop

oh ya probably, didnt think about that, dell does do gay stuff like that, well they cant stop me from making it into a bonfire

=]

thats actually a pretty good deal, i dont know much about the gs ones, id go for at least with a gt myself but with a deal like that, go for it OR of course you could spend all that 260 on one gts say this one, its evga 512mb 8800gts, i figure if i want to upgrade later i buy a second one =]
