i7 920 upgrade?

[jonnyb23]

Hi, So here i am thinking of building a new system for gaming, water cooling sli and all that jazz when i though hang a bout maybe i can just upgrade my current rig. the question is though, if i sli two gtx670's will my i7 920 restrict the system (bottle neck it?).

I currently run a GA-EX58-UD5, i7 920 and a gtx 570. upgrading would simply be cheaper that building a whole system, and less time consuming.

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome thanks

If you can get it to 4ghz then it should be good enough.

Sli 670s? If your gaming on 1080p mine as well get a single 7970 or 680 and water cool them. The 670s would be a waist of money

As for the cpu bottlenecking issue... Since you are WC i would say a 4.1-.2 should be enough.

Or with the money saved on not SLI'ing you could upgrade the cpu/mobo and not have to worry at all
