how about getting a Nvidia GTX460 for £147 and sli in the future, will leave two 5770 or 5830 in the dust.

the rest of the spec is cool.

VonScar · 6 Aug 2010 at 22:25

As above 460 is best bang for buck card at present.

ati

I have always been realy keen on ati but would i be able to do a eyfiny like setup on the GTX 460. Do you think the power supply would be good enough or is it too much?

stulid · 6 Aug 2010 at 22:44

the psu is plenty, will power a wide range of cards, and two cards.

adaswani · 6 Aug 2010 at 22:45

Can u do eyfinity(three screens) on GTX 460?

stulid · 6 Aug 2010 at 22:48

Why would you need a Corsair Pro AX750? Will you be running a system for 24 hours?

huh? does that mean all other psu's cant be run for 24hrs a day? no didn't think so.

its a fantastic psu.

I like it for two reasons, its new so hopefully it wont get outdated quickly and its got a gold ratinng whichis supposed to be quiet so hopfully it will be quiter on idle.

Its gold rating is to do with efficiency rather than noise. but they are incredibley quiet, dB until they hit 850W. You won't have that problem!

looks an excellent build. I'm guessing you'll have windows on the Revo drive, please please please post some boot times when you've got the system going.
I'll just sit here being jealous!

Loving it bar the 5770, Get a GTX460.

b-star · 7 Aug 2010 at 19:49

I'd get antec 1200 . now it's even cheaper at £125.

+1 for gtx460

but, man, £200 for 50gb hdd ... same to psu, it's great, but you can get under £100 700W and won't see difference!

adaswani · 7 Aug 2010 at 20:34

i ve decided against the revo drive due to the price but i am sticking with the haf x cus i mean just look at it, i am in love.

adaswani · 7 Aug 2010 at 20:57
