So heres my current build, am looking for any advice opinions on it.

i7 950 @ 4ghz

EVGA x58 sli 3

12gb Patriot 1333 (4gb)

2tb seagate barracuda 7200

Cooler master silent pro 1000w

haf x 932 + H100

Currently have 2 EVGA gtx 460's 1gb in sli

Upgrading to 2 EVGA gtx 670 sc 4gb (pre-ordered)

1. Will anything be bottlenecking the 2 670s?

2. Will the pci-e x16 x8 x8 reduce performance (noticeably) in sli w/ the 670's?

3. Will I be able to upgrade to 3 way 670's with this current configuration or is that pushing it lol?

Thanks in advance!
 
1. Will anything be bottlenecking the 2 670s? No, you should not have any problems with this system

2. Will the pci-e x16 x8 x8 reduce performance (noticeably) in sli w/ the 670's? You will not see any noticeable performance issues.

3. Will I be able to upgrade to 3 way 670's with this current configuration or is that pushing it lol? Yes, you should be able to run 3 way SLI.

So far there is not indication that the PCI 3 performance will suffer when running in PCI 2 slots.
 
1. I don't think anything is bottlenecking

2. Nope, you won't see any issues.

3. I think you can run 3 way.

Btw, do you need a good place for those 2 gtx 460's? (I'm still rocking my FX5200 AGP card

Why are you going for the 4gb versions? how many screens you rocking?

Would it not be more beneficial to save the extra money and go for a 3rd card instead of the 4gb ones?
