Advice - Bundle + Gfx card

SeantheMan

Hi All,
With the arrival of BF3 and Skyrim soon, I guess I'll be looking to upgrade.

Current setup is below

Processor: Intel Core2 Extreme X6800
Memory: 4gb RAM
Video Card: Radeon 4870 X2
Motherboard: ASUS PRKPL/1600


I've been looking round a few sites, Overclockers, Pixmania, Komplett etc.
But also going to ask for advice here as more likely to get a decent guide as opposed to randomly picking parts myself

Budget for the 4 parts woud be ..mmm 400 would be nice, but I could push it to 600 IF it was REALLY a HUGE improvement over the 400 setup
(Bundle + GFX) is probably the easiest, but if you know of cheaper seperate then I'd gladly go that way

I have a decent PSU and Coolermaster case etc so should be enough space.

All advice and help is appreciated, thanks


I have gone and bought the below in the meantime

Is it Worth me buying another to run in Crossfire ?
I'd probably need to lower the price of the Bundle to accomodate the Crossfire etc.
Or is my CPU ok ?

The 4870x2 is about the same speed or a little faster than a 6870
