This is what i was thinking for a new gaming pc coming at a price of nearly £1800. Just a couple queries if anyone would be good enough to answer.
Would it be worth going for 2 gfx cards of a lower spec in sli even though i'm only using 1 monitor?
Also baring in mind i've already blown my budget by £300, would anyone have an idea of where i could save a penny or 2?
Any help or advise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.*
