May need to upgrade GPU
Hey again, as you can see in my specs I'm running 2 GTX 550TI in SLI. I've come to the conclusion that my graphic set-up is bottlenecking my CPU. I'm thinking this because, from day one I've not been able to run any of the games I built this system for (BF3, BC2 or flight Sim) without the inevitable crash or freeze. I'm now thinking able buying a new card, and using one of the 550's for PhysX. I have linked a couple of cards I'm looking at, but am open to all suggestions. Also if you see another possible reason for these crashes and freezing in my specs please enlighten me.

I realize that the one from NewEgg is a refub, is this something to stay away from?
