Hi there,

May I ask what is the make and model number of the 600W PSU you bought?

GTX570.

Another question. What size and resolution is your monitor?

Off the bat I'm going to say the 6950, but I'm quite sure that my recommendation will change after we learn more.

perfect.

I'm assuming the 52" TV will have a resolution of 1920x1080, so I say go for the 570 or the cheap 480 on offer now. You could also go for a 6950 and unlock it to a 6970.

eddie12 · 14 Feb 2011 at 22:14

will any make of the gtx570 do

stulid · 14 Feb 2011 at 22:15

get the cheapest, the ocuk one will be a Palit model I believe or a Inno3D.

Orcvader · 14 Feb 2011 at 22:16

Any will do, but this one has a very tempting 10 year warranty: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-143-EA&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1010

This one is £15 cheaper this week, and is the cheapest at the moment.

The EVGA as posted a little bit above is a good alternative too. 10 year warranty isn't something that you see everyday.

eddie12 · 14 Feb 2011 at 22:18

thanks for all your help

Your welcome. You know where to come if you have any troubles. Would be cool to hear how the build goes too

Jupiter · 14 Feb 2011 at 22:28

Don't forget to post pictures of your build when you get round to doing it!

It's also something no one will ever use

2-5 years max for a GPU before you want to upgrade xD
