snips86x · 22 Jun 2013 at 21:03

haha, but would it really be worth it over the 7870, 7950? I would rather have the AMD if I'm honest.

Get a better case

Another £20-30 gets something great such as a Bitfenix Shinobi window case or Corsair 300R

cheezecheeze · 22 Jun 2013 at 21:07

i only use prebuild laptop. so about AMD is what i heard. but if you guys really think its good and reliable for the next few years then maybe i should go for AMD if can save some extra cash on something else

7950 (boost edition) vs GTX670 - http://anandtech.com/bench/Product/645?vs=598

Cue driver improvement debate

cheezecheeze · 22 Jun 2013 at 21:13

i do not plan to overclock. might be double gpu but not overclock. which one is best bang for the £££££ and reliable too

stulid · 22 Jun 2013 at 21:19

MSI twin frozr 7950 is good.

But I do like GTX670's

cheezecheeze · 22 Jun 2013 at 21:24

hmm tough choice...will GTX still be good for the next few years? i don't need gaming on ultrahigh. just high or medium without lagging is good for me.

stulid · 22 Jun 2013 at 21:30

I have a 670, eats everything I throw at it on a 1080p monitor.

cheezecheeze · 22 Jun 2013 at 21:39

alright then. guess im going with this

thank you Stulid and Micky for all your helps

Add this to your build it will be well worth it as performance is awesome , and double storage drive for £3 more.
