Looks good, if you havent already hit order, I would personally change the PSU to this Antec for only £7 it is better quality

Good stuff. The Dark Rock is decent performance and quiet, the MUX-120 is in the same ballpark and cheaper.

if you had both cards at standard clocks they would be about equal, but the MSI one has a far better cooler on it so could be overclocked a lot more

Is that 6950 really worth £280 in peoples opinion?

I'd go for a 570 at that price point personally.

(posted at same time. I agree with Reaper)

£2 more gets you a 6970, I'd either go 570 or 6970.

Very true, A overclocked 6950 is equal to a 6970, while a overclocked 6970 is equal to a ?
