you need 250 posts or something

you're not asking for a case, so I assume you have one, which one is it, the size of it might affect the GPU choices you have

Do not mention competitors! Or your stay here will be very short - Thundycat.

It was only 30 notes!

Cheers.

it's really just about size... some of the new cards that you'll be looking at with your budget don't fit in some cases

yours (Coolermaster Elite 330, for those wondering) seems to have plenty of space.

I'm pretty bad at speccing, so I'll leave that to someone else

But we are not in a shop we are in a fourm discussion about a shop, its like
running up to tescos front windows and putting a big sticker that asda is
better than tescos even though we know its not.

I think I agree with you really, cause its not like you cant just use google anyway. OC should just be confident that thier customer service and prices are the best so people wont need to buy elsewhere.

Note: My latest build parts were all bought from here

For a recommended spec, look at my sig, but you'll want a better GPU

this why private messaging is also disabled, to stop talking about competitors.
