MJCRO Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Got the my check waiting to clear UGH I wanna just order these parts already but, I got the Z68X-UD7, RAM, and case ready to order and the 2600K is chilling on my shelf. Hopefully the parts will be here in 2 days if they get shipped from NJ hopefully I'm wondering, should I pick up another GTX 470 and just SLI these bad boys on the UD7, considering that I looked up online they probably have a refurbished or open box PNY GTX 470 in Microcenter by me in Yonkers for $143.97. So I'm thinking should I go for it? That is really dirt cheap IMO. Edited July 5, 2011 by MJCRO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJCRO Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Lol, that's actually a good question, I mean IDK, should I? Lmao. I game on occasion, but when I do, I go hard. So I'm thinking why not? Lol, that is a good price, if not I can probably go on eBay and grab one for ~200. Edited July 5, 2011 by MJCRO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 YONKERS! That's a good deal for a 470, especially brand new! I'd go for it, just say bye bye to your overclocking lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think it's worth it IVI, I mean I doubt my XFX 750W would last any long with 2 of those power hungry cards? 0_o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Pick up a corsair 850 watt and the card. It's not a matter of whether you need sli or not its if you want too. "If you want it and got the goods to get it go for it" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what, I'll hold it off for a little while, I wanna get my new upgrade nice and settled this weekend and then we'll go from there!

IVIYTH0S Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 If you have to upgrade your good PSU to get SLI then it's not worth it. I'd sell the 470 and get two 560Tis maybe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Ivy, regarding your comment about not being able to OC in SLI... Just because you have an sli set-up does not mean you have to say bye bye to your Overclock. For forever and a day I have had my GTX480's overclocked to 800hmz-1600mhz-2000mhz. Yes you will produce allot more and you sometimes cannot get the same OC if you were single card but what really matters is the case and if its SLI friendly. If its SLI friendly then the game will not change much. Just maybe a SLIGHT reduction in the OC if you have your case configured properly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it could even sustain the two stock power whores lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
