This particular 7870 has a cut down 7950 core, look at the number of stream processors it has

If you can stretch or adjust i'd definitely get a SSD in there somehow.

Leigno · 4 Jun 2013 at 20:39

no room for stretching or adjusting really, be struggling to get a mouse in budget for that build too stulid, he has his mind set on a G400 mouse :/

stulid · 4 Jun 2013 at 20:42

But one spec is the same as price as you listed, the other one is £30 less.

That`s almost identical to the one I specced in the OP`s other thread. Only I included a mouse for a similar price to the G400.
