    Hey everyone!

    I'm upgrading my system and was wondering if there would be any compatibility issues with the new GPU and CPU i may purchase.

    Current specs...

    2 GTX 260's SLI
    AMD Phenom II x2 560
    AsusTeK M4N98TD EVO Motherboard
    8 gb ddr3 patriot


    Currently, instead of upgrading my motherboard i just want to get the best AM3 cpu to cooperate with a new GPU i am about to buy.

    Looking at newegg i found this to be the best AM3... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819103893

    And for GPU... I'm considering these two but i am not sure what to choose. The 560 ti is a lot faster but with 1gb ram. Where as the normal 560 is a lot cheaper with 2gb ram. What do you think??

    This is for a gaming computer. Basically i'm just wondering if these are a good fit for my system. Also if there is any suggestions on what i should get. I appreciate the help!

    Thanks!
