If you did want to ease back on the cost of this upgrade? then the 6870 is good - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/290?vs=330

that particular XFX version is overclocked from the factory and includes two free games also.


And coming from a ATI X1950 you may be gobsmacked at whats coming with either card:)

it doesnt even have a VGA or DVI connection :eek:

thats something i didnt even check for because i thought no motherboard maker would be stupid enough not to include one (unless the motherboard doesnt have onboard graphics of course)

Dont you ever spec a Z68 Gigabyte board again.

Its the only way.

I have been drumming on about how crap they are forever.

up coming game release (Tera Online)

Just in case you didn't know, Tera's western release has been pushed back to spring 2012. :(

If that was the only reason for you to upgrade then it might be a better idea to wait since several new cpus/gpus should be out by then.

Hello and back again, after a bit of consideration - regarding my case only.. I'd love one more suggestion - based on the final list which was kindly brought together by Stulid.

What would likely be the smallest case I could fit these parts into ?

Many thanks for any suggestions :)
