O-M-G! The HD 4870 x2 is incredible! But................im really, really, trying hard to not buy it. I read it requires a 6pin and 8pin, not 2 6pins like i am with my card.
*moaning*....................I CANT DO IT STE! I JUST CANT! MY CARD IS GOOD! I CANT GET RID OF IT YET! plus my computer is still broken.....

anyways, i changed plans and i want to go for the R800 now for DX11. My card can handle games pretty good, it's just my stupid CPU that is holding up on everything! I'm also gonna for sure get a 45nm Phenom, highest-end obviously, at the end of this year.

Nos... if 4870x2 is the top performing card.... Why the gtx280 preference? Did you buy an nvidia mobo?
And don't use "ZOMG PRICE FOR 1000w psu" and cooling as an excuse... your still buying gtx280's and watercooling them if I am not mistaken...
