    I can't decide on two options: pls help

    1. Amd 7750 BE + 770/780 chipset + 3870 + 2x2gb 800mhz cl5
    2. Phenon II 710 + 790gx chipset |+ 4830 + 2.2gb 1066mhz cl5

    Both have 2x samsung 500 gb 7200 rpm 16mb buffer in raid 0.

    I use this computer for medium gaming, hard downloading ( and therefore multitasking ) and hd movies on a 32" lcd screen.

    The second configuration in 33% more expensive. Do i get 33% more performance? Or is it better just to upgrade sooner from the first one?

    My current config is 4000+, 2600Xt and 2gb 800 cl5 ram, so i think both will be a great upgrade.

    Please let me know what do you think.

    PS: I would like to try overclocking just for the fun of it ( but the 720 BE is more expensive ).
