How can the GTX480 be at the same level as GTX570? lol...

Yer the case and psu combo is awesome. Saves me a bit of money

GTX480 is last gen top end card and GTX570 is mid upper end card and looking at all game benchmarks they perform virtually the same although the GTX480 has bigger framebuffer.

All said and done it's under £200 at OcUK and an unbeatable deal

Wow, how did i miss this in the benchmarks? Thats just saved me £100... nice one liquid, I owe you a pint!

£767 inc vat now. Changed from 570 to 480. Only difference is noise and power i hear.

Winner.

Awesome, looking forward to your thoughts once that bad boy is running

Don't worry that 'iv'e just spent £750' feeling will soon be replaced by joy once it's in your hands lol.

Just spent another £230 getting the motherboard, cooler and some other bits and bobs.

Going to order the CPU tomorrow and head up to Overclockers to pick it up and start the build. Can't wait. Had most of the equipment sitting here for 12hours now and im itching to get started. 3D monitor box is hugee!
