June 14, 200817 yr This is probably the dumbest dilemma Ive had for a while but the thing is that I have an amount of money, and thes two objects cost the same and will probably bring about the same amount of fun. 1. The wheel - Forza2 got me seriously hooked on racing games and this would be an awesome thing to have. It can connect to the PC aswell with a thingie dongle. 2. The PSU - I have a giant 1920x1200 screen and two Geforce 7800GTX lying around, but I cant use both of them in SLi bcause I dont have the power. I need a bigger PSU. If I could use both, I would see perhaps 25% performance increase in most games, and I would be able to play Mass Effect on full 1920x1200. It would also be useful in the future I cant decide which would be more fun. Can you help me?

June 14, 200817 yr Probably can't help, because I never liked racing games except mario kart and toys like steering wheels hooked up to my computer, so I'm not a good advisor when saying: get the PSU and go SLI. Citizen of a country with a racist, hypocritical majority
June 14, 200817 yr The PSU. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
June 15, 200817 yr The PSU, you can cause some damage long term with not having enough power for everything. Using a gamepad to control an FPS is like trying to fight evil through maple syrup.

June 16, 200817 yr A psu is fun ? Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

June 18, 200817 yr Author I put in the new PSU and to my great surprise its even quieter than my old Antec, which is very good. I dont have the hardware to push the power so I dont know what it sounds like at full blast, though. Running two 7800GTX in SLi works rather well, and now I can run every game in full 1980x1200 without a hitch. The problem is running both my screens in dualview, I tried it but that resulted in windows freezing up until i finally started in safemode, removed my drivers and the second card, and then started again with just one monitor.

June 19, 200817 yr SLI does not like more than 1 monitor Using a gamepad to control an FPS is like trying to fight evil through maple syrup.
