That build looks good too, but as I said before so did your earlier one, youve gone from a 5850 to a 470 which whilst slightly better the difference is negligible, comparison and a Phenom 955 to i5 760 which again when it comes to gaming the difference is again negligible (except in FC2), comparison (linked bench compares 750 not 760 as 760 does not have full range of scores)
Either set up will be good
It wasnt me he was getting arsey with, it was Jony, and I dont think Jony pointing out the subtle differences between whether you were banned or suspended warrant getting irate over, personally, its a matter of semantics

thank you i just want best for buck and amd looked it i was just...experimenting with the i5 build to see what is better.
 
jake tbh i dont really like limavady....theres nothing to do here man the only new things that has been built/done since i came here was a subway(food) and a stripclub(which im not allowed as still underage).

@Scone

the Patriot Viper is the same price and its got better CAS timings (7-7-7-20) than the Corsair. but if you want to go with the corsair for the low profile heatsinks then fair enuff but i dont think the vipers would be an issue with the titan evo cooler.

my opinion on the 470 is that they r power hungry and hot like the 480s and i wouldnt want to SLI them unless they wer watercooled.

you said your planning on SLIing so the 625W i dont think will be enuff as you should be looking to overclocking your i5 to 4Ghz as well as 2 470s and other components

fair enuff on the windows 7. you would need a Dual Layer dvd writer anyway to burn a good copy.
 
Also the Patriot Viper RAM voltage axceeds the prescribed voltage for 1156 boards as such theres a chance it could fry the memory controller (probably wouldnt but imo best not to chance it)
The Vipers are perfect for AM3 build (which use higher voltage) but I'd warrant caution with 1156 builds
You can use lower voltage stuff in AM3 quite easily without worry, but higher voltage in 1156 runs a risk

it was the unnecessary snipes because of a converter being needed that took place before that that started it. he wanted to spec a non modular for an extra 10er and then U-turned again because i said it was not modular, to an even bigger psu, £21 more and in the end it is out of stock anyway. LOL:confused: just so Scon wouldnt have to buy a £2 converter for the orginal psu speced. does this not annoy any1?

not when the MSI G55 motherboard wont do sli, its a 16X/8X bodge job.

i probably wont go sli or xfire
 
Stulid - what's the issue with that MSI mobo? MSI website says it'll do SLI and surely 8x/16x is 'better' than the 8x/8x you get on most x-fire/sli P55 mobos? I'm sure I read a big test somewhere basically saying anything with 4x going on was bad, but 8x/8x was fine, then 8x/16x a tiny bit better, then 16x/16x a tiny bit better still??
