3. Desktop Processing
4. HTPC
Q: Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them and the reason for your preference/dislike.
No

No real preference here - Racing/FPS/RTS just a random mix of old/new games. Looking at playing at decent settings with as much bling as possible
Q: What is your preferred monitor resolution for gaming and normal usage
Not really sure, for home use i just go as high as my system can handle without a flicker
Q: Are you looking to overclock?
1. No

Again Not sure - Windows 7/XP
My Questions here are
1) Is there any point upgrading the processor to the 955 BE?
2) Any change required in the SMPS?
3) If (and that is a big if) I decide to do a xFire later will my SMPS handle it or will I need an Upgrade.
Any other suggestions people may have...
Thanks a ton,
Frank
