Hi there,

May I ask what resolution you will be running at and what the spec of the rest of your PC is? (especially the CPU and PSU make and model number).

i have an amd athlon II x3 3.20ghz

the psu is just a stock psu that come with this case http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-043-OP&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=

i need to replace the psu aswell

and recommendations mate?

thank you

Ah, in that case this would be the PSU I would go for.

As for GPU the HD 5770 is a good deal, but I would go with this one if you can afford it (here is how it compares to the 5770) and if you can stretch the budget any further then this one is well worth it (here is a comparison with the 5830) or this one if you would like an Nvidia card.

Thank you for the recommendations

Ill stick with the 5770 and buy the psu that you recommended

Just that money is an issue at the moment lol

If i can make some extra cash ill go with the other gpu

Can i ask what you think of this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-139-OK and how it compares to the 5770

thank you

ok thank you mate

the 5770 says the bus type is 2.1

mine is only 2.0 though

does it matter or is it compatible?

thanks

[djshauny1]

Yea, no worries. Have a read here.

thank you

so all 2.1 will work with 2.0

nice

yes yes yes yes yes!!! it's like 1.1 working with 1.0 pci-e. What card are you considering to buy? After seeing how impressive the £20 more cards are!?
