Yeah, that's kind of my reasoning. Is it worth the extra £80 to get a 580 over a 570 though? I really want this new rig to max all the up coming games for this year (skyrim,BF3,etc). I've never looked at reviews for the 580 as I always deemed it out of my price range.

for that price difference, yes, normally, no imo

I'll order one tonight along with a Extreme4 and the vengeance RAM from a competitor. As much as I dislike the vengeance RAMs looks, I can't justify paying so much more for what is essentially the same RAM with a different heatsink.

Where did you find the TJ07 for £215 with a window, btw?

It would be £215 for the case, £65 for powder-coating of the case/IO plate/dvd drive, etc. Custom midplate and backplate is another £40. That's £330ish.

Thinking of doing cables in green and maybe sticking some white and orange in there aswell

150 euro max budget for sleeving alone, what do you think guys?

Input greatly appreciated. Once the sleeving arrives i'll properly start

KiiYzOo · 12 Aug 2011 at 23:21

Green, Orange and white sounds good

Kinda want to sleeve now

Cleeecooo · 12 Aug 2011 at 23:22

not sure how to make it work though!!!

RollerBall · 13 Aug 2011 at 02:50

So I've ordered a GTX 580, Extreme4 Gen3, 8gig Corsair vengeance (1600mhz) an I5 2500k and a 128gb M4.

Now just to order a case and watercooling stuff!

KiiYzOo · 13 Aug 2011 at 09:08

niiiice

do you guys think a gtx 560 backplate would fit on my 460? as 460 waterblocks fit on gtx 560ti's

Cleeecooo · 13 Aug 2011 at 10:33

They should fit.

RB, what about sleeving?

KiiYzOo · 13 Aug 2011 at 10:47

Will wait until I get a second 460 & waterblock

I think I'm going to use paracord just because it's so cheap and tbh, it still looks pretty good. I'm going for black with a few blue highlights.

Not sure what I'm going to use to sleeve the sata though cables though. Forgot to mention, I ordered the black vengeance too. Just because the blue vengeance is the foulest shade of blue I've ever seen.

Why were you planning to upgrade anyway?

Cleeecooo · 14 Aug 2011 at 01:02

Thinking of going green orange and White for my sleeving.

RollerBall · 14 Aug 2011 at 01:21

What shade of green? I'm still toying with going all black vs black with a highlight of blue vs all blue.

Hmm. Don't even know what blue to go with either.

Cleeecooo · 14 Aug 2011 at 09:52

Bright green

Cleeecooo · 14 Aug 2011 at 10:44

Anyways, I'm now planning to do orange White and green as my sleeving. What do you all think?

RollerBall · 14 Aug 2011 at 11:25

I think it could work but I'm not sure. In my head it looks alright, I wouldn't do it but if you want green and orange I think it would work. What colour case internals are you doing?

Cleeecooo · 14 Aug 2011 at 11:34

I think I'll order that and see if it works.

RollerBall · 14 Aug 2011 at 11:52

Why don't you order a little bit and see if it works, like some cheap tester sleeve.
