2x7970 far outperforms the GTX 780. For playing games on two screens you'll want 2x7950 or better for best performance.

With a few adjustments, I think this is my build now.. do I really need so many fans? I thought I could downgrade the keyboard too and maybe get a new h100? I love the accessories, need lots of colour in that big ol box I guess!

 

[RJC]

I think when you order you will only get one set of free games, as people I think were getting greedy and ensures everyone gets a chance.

 

[teppic]

With 2x7950s he should at least get two lots of the standard bundle that comes with any 7950 (so 2x3 games).

No mate you don't really need to spend that much on fans, the case comes with three 140mm fans as is. I'd rather spend cash on the core components. If you want to "tart" up the build that's cool but I would do that once you get free P&P, you can order little bits and pieces as you go.

The games are limited to the first 250 orders I believe as well, hold off the order too long and you could miss out as the prices for these cards are ridiculously cheap.

The case has two intake 140mm fans and one exhaust (you can replace the front two with three 120mm fans). They'd be easy to replace later if you wanted to. Standard Corsair fans tend to be on the noisy side, not sure about these ones.

If you get an H100 I'd go for a new H100i rather than refurb for a high spec machine.

Having those fans help with the overall style, the white LED strip will help show it all off.

(if the pics don't show, just click on them.)

P.S the Antec PSU is better than the XFX above and is also modular.

 

[stulid]

If you get an H100 I'd go for a new H100i rather than refurb for a high spec machine.

If the case takes it (which I think it does) then the H110 offers more surface area due to the bigger radiator, thus cooling is a bit better, its also currently cheaper.

 

[teppic]

Ah, I haven't looked at that one. I was really talking about the refurb Corsair coolers, I just wouldn't risk it on a Crossfire/Haswell set up.

 

[zoobee]

I'm almost there, i like this case as its cheaper, what could go wong? just not....sure on the cube, dunno if i love or not sure.
my effort for 1500 is this... bottled out of waiting for the MSI 7970,7950... for now. I have no spare cash left for bits... ahh, any further tips?
