Hello all, been a while since IO've really posted anything but havnt been doing much tinkering to be post worthy lol.
Anyways, I've been considering getting a new gpu for a while (pretty much since I build the rig, but couldn't afford a gpu at the time), came home the other day and had a cheque from the tax man saying I paid to much last year, not a lot but decided that since this was money I hadn't had I may as well treat myself
lol, looking around at different gpus, and adding some money to the cheque I might be able to push and get a http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-065-HS
question really is if it's worth it, or would you recommend a different brand 7950 (*current his card was purchased from oc and I've had no issues with it thus far) The free games are a nice incentive - esp. sleeping dogs tbh, I'm open to playing any genre of game, recently become fixated on Diablo 3 - which isnt the most taxing of games, but I also have a good few hours racked up on skyrim and some BF3, so going from the 5670 will be a nice boost in performance for me on all games really. I currently only have a 720p tv so I admit a lot is lost me not being 1080p etc, but I've been planning on getting a monitor also, and would rather get the gpu first, than get the monitor had have my experience with it sub-par because my gpu couldnt handle it, looking at either a dell with 1200 or a benq 120hz, undecided, based on that would you recommend the 7950 iceq, perhaps a different brand, or even drop down to say a 7850/70
many thanks in advance for your advice.
