Hows this build? [GAMING]

[Ethermaster]

If you want the rig to look the part I would suggest that you look at the red and black rig that I spec'ed you.

But how do you feel about Orange?

New ATI cards out soon, maybe worth waiting to see the price point they arrive at and if the 7950/7970 get cheaper? (unlikely)

 

[hakank68]

Not a bad spec atall

Though personally id go for a 7970, they are cheaper, just as fast and have enough VRAM for BF4.

I would also change that case, £200 for a case is a lot considering the (superior) 750D is only £135.

I've just saved you £215, no need to thank me!

1 x Corsair Obsidian 750D Full Tower Case - Black (CC-9011035-WW) £134.99

+1 really like the case and maybe if he can push the budget he can buy 2 7970's

I'm not over bothered by it looking to amazing, at the moment I want to make sure I have the right stuff so it runs well etc. Would I need a better power supply if I got 2 7970s?

That's a nice case, would you know if I would need more power than a 750w if I had 2 7970s?

 

[teppic]

750w is sufficient for two 7970s.

true but i guess he wont have enough headroom for future upgrades, id go for a higher watt psu just to be on the safe side

Well, the only future upgrade would be a third GPU really.
750w is fine, 850w would be just that little extra. No point going beyond that, unless you have it 100% planned for 3/4 GPU's.

Ah ha, I'm not the only one who still thinks of them as ATI lol

It was so much easier when it was Intel vs AMD and Nvidia vs ATI

OK, I will take a look at a few 850s but if they don't fit in price then I wont bother and stick with 750.

Which water cooler is better?
