Hey im building a new pc not really got a budget just nothing ott!

Looking at this so far...

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 8MB L3 Cache 125W Retail Box Processor

OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz AMD Black Edition Memory Kit AOD Ready CL8(8-8-8-24) 1.65V

Asus M4A87TD EVO 870 Socket AM3 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard

Antec TruePower New 750W Blue LED Fan Modular PSU - 80plus Bronze and SLI Certified 3x SATA

Coolermaster V8 Socket 1156, 1366, 775, AM2+, AM2, 940 Processor Cooler

Sapphire HD 5850 TOXIC Edition 2GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI Display Port Out PCI-E Graphics Card
either this one or the 5870 version depending on moneys when i order it (and maybe if you guys think its worth the extra money :D )

Antec 1200 Twelve Hundred Full Tower Case

Roughly £900 atm and i need hdd and dvd drive but i might have some of those knocking around from old builds.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks :D

you both recon the HIS iCooler V ATI Radeon HD 5850 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card?
How does it compare to the Sapphire HD 5850 TOXIC Edition 2GB I chose?
Appart from the extra £100 or so lol

Its been a long time since i built a machine so dont know whats good and whats bad these days.

Cheers tho :D
 
What resolution do you play at?
Both the 5850 and 5870 or all good cards.

A good 5850 can be overclocked to match a 5870 ( clock speeds ) but obviously you could overclock a 5870 too.

TBH I wouldn't get that toxic one if you play at like 1920 x 1080/1200.
The 1GB cards will be fine.
