Stulids build with one of theese http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-147-OK&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752
Instead of the GTX 480

no, slower

and dont reply with the it can be flashed thing, because the OP couldn't even get the cpu/ram and motherboard right, so would you trust him?

and a GTX480 still beats a 6970 in a lot of tests anyway - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/309?vs=292

Quick question, Stulid why didnt you pick the OCZ ram?

I am sure that he will come back to you soon enough, but my guess it is because of the bargain price OcUK are selling it for, at the moment! :)

Looks like a good system to me anyway!
 
Get the 6950 educate yourself in Computing then look at flashing it to a 6970.
The 480 is a good choice even if it is a bit loud and hot.

explained why not above, the GTX480 is still better in quite a few tests, and it doesnt sound like the sort of thing i would recommend to a novice to do.
 
Considering hes going to build his own PC he cant stay a novice for ever and he's will need to start looking into things life this for the future. Its not like it needs to be done straight away.
