Hi,

I have been trying to decide on a few builds the last couple of days but after a lot of suggestions from the forum this is my FINAL! build :)

Thermaltake Chaser A31
Gigabyte Z87-D3HP Motherboard w/ FREE Be Quiet! SR1 Pro CPU Cooler
Intel Core i5-4670k 3.4GHz RETAIL S1150 Haswell + FREE GRID 2
MSI GTX 660 Twin Frozr III 2GB OC
Corsair Vengeance Blue Low Profile 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 PC-12800 1600MHz
Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA 6GB/s 7200RPM
Corsair GS600 2013 Gaming Edition 600W Power Supply


Managed to get it to around £714 thanks to some help from the OC Customer Services :)


Can't wait for it to arrive now :)

All I need to sort now is a nice blue keyboard and mouse lol.
 
I was getting the Twin Frozr III for £160


Hmmm... I just don't wanna keep screwing this guy around in the OC Pre-Sales forum so I gotta decide.

From the sounds of it I am better off getting the VTX3D HD 7870 Black Boost over the Twin Frozr III because it is a better card, and if I overclock the 7870 it gives me the performance of the 7950.

But if I spend an extra £60 then I get the proper 7950.

I don''t want to go the extra £60 as my budget was £650-700 to start with so I have already pushed it.


But if you are telling me an OC 7870 Black Boost is better than a Twin Frozr III OC by miles then I will sort out paying the extra £14 for that..


Does that sound right?

Lol I can't keep jumping up so looks like I will swap out for the VTX3D HD 7870 Black Boost Edition.

How loud is the card compared to the MSI Twin Frozr III?
 
Thanks for the input guys, just aswell they are shut on a sunday I can post that in and get it changed over before dispatch.

Sorry to keep asking but a stock 7870 Black Boost and stock Twin Frozr III, does the 7870 still beat it without OC and also does it sound really loud.
