clean your original heatsink out and you should get 3ghz easily provided it's seated correctly.

Possibly this?

Might want to change the case.

That looks wicked

I might have to sell my Unused ipod to help fund this

But defo Looks good!!!

Also could i sell my old components ?

Etc, Mobo, Ram Gcard and 2 cases ?

Spose that would be £200 already paid towards it really ! think i am going to go ahead. cheers buddy !

Which Gcard is the better ? out of ATI and Nvidia one ?

siumatfung · 17 Jun 2009 at 20:48

depends on what games u play tbh

98p · 17 Jun 2009 at 20:51

I play

-CSS
-Cod4
-Cod5
-Trackmania
-ArmaII if it is good

siumatfung · 17 Jun 2009 at 20:53

dont think any of them use physX so the 4890 or 4870 would be a good choice aswell

98p · 17 Jun 2009 at 20:55

So the ATI would be a better choice ?

Is that a good choice ?

If you play with an ATI 4xxx series card in CS:S you get a dodgy fog around certain maps and darker areas are harder to see into even whilst using max gamma, the only way around this is to run your game in DirectX level 8 which i have to, otherwise the HD4870 or 90 would be a good choice.

This looks good also, its on offer

Hehe soo tempting but by the time i get my bank card the offer wil be over

siumatfung · 17 Jun 2009 at 21:01

but the Nvidia's run cooler so could possibly geta slightly better case with the money saved mebbes an antec 300

edit the card will only be 6£ more even if its not on offer btw

98p · 17 Jun 2009 at 21:01

My one pet HATE is the antec 900

siumatfung · 17 Jun 2009 at 21:05

but it says 300

TheRedZealot · 17 Jun 2009 at 21:06

I would advise getting a GTX260 aswell, the ATI cards sound like hoovers to be honest and run hotter.
