thanks a lot for the help

stulid · 14 Apr 2011 at 17:09

The first spec without an O/S has the benefit of being able to add another 6950 GPU later on in life for a crossfire setup, the second spec is just a single GPU setup(the motherboard/PSU reflect this)

white_shadow28 · 14 Apr 2011 at 18:45

well what dose o/s meen i want it so i can have winows 7 and play realy good pc games .

O/S is acronym for Operating system

white_shadow28 · 14 Apr 2011 at 18:47

so do u think the win 7 sustem is good for what i want it for then

Ginger-Menace · 14 Apr 2011 at 18:48

i would assume it would be a good idea to look at the custom built systems from ocuk

yes, its on budget, if you could afford another £17 for the 2GB 6950 card? then that would be a bonus.

Why? he wouldn't get close to that spec for £700

Reaper 392 · 14 Apr 2011 at 19:04

*edit*

stulid · 14 Apr 2011 at 19:10

I used that board in a forum members build, its good.

I should add that it doesnt have the UEFI BIOS of the MSI board.

Im in the fancy BIOS camp.

really? seeing that i'd only be in the bios when i want to get an overclock working, and when im installing windows for the first time, i dont think i could justify any money for a fancy bios.

or is this just me not knowing how much useful stuff there is in the bios?
