Final check before I buy.

[Skurlo]

Now I have just a few questions about this build.

• If I was to buy it as is and got everything delivered, when I start to build it will I have everything I need for it all to fit together minus a screwdriver .etc?
• Will this PSU be enough to power all of this?
• Will the CPU be bottlenecking the GPU?
• Any way I could make it 8 quid cheaper keeping the same performance ?

Here is the build:

Thanks for all your help!

You might want to consider going for a Radeon 5770 if you're likely to want Dx11 support in the future.

Well, I'm not all that bothered abut dx11. All the games I want to play are Dx10.1 and I'm sure games will support it for a long time to come. a 4890 is roughly the same price but has better performance so thats why I chose it.

In many tests the 5770 outperforms the 4890 by a fair margin. the main things the 4890 has over it is it has more bandwidth. While they are both good cards the 5770 gets my vote

Best bet is to take averages....

Sum of FPS Benchmarks 1680x1050
with anti aliasing, 4AA
(High Quality) ------ 4890 ----- 260 ----- 5770
Score in FrameGo -- 459.50---- 449.50---- 406.60

Sum of FPS Benchmarks 1920x1200
with anti aliasing, 4AA
