im not really getting it for the game but i want a card that is not top range but will def be able to run decent games, i had heard some good reviews of that card.. why what would u recommend instead?

in total around 700-800

Yes i have windows 7 and there is a possibility in the future but not by a lot

oh dear so maybe waiting till end of feb is best?

Destroyer^ · 31 Jan 2011 at 16:45

thanks for that list Kiyzoo, i should have said that i already have my hard drives and other peripherals, plus id rather go for a gigabyte board as im not so clued up on foxconn, umm yeah the GTX 480 seams a great card apart from the heating and noise issues?

but is it worth waiting for the new sandbridges or to go for a different CPU?

Destroyer^ · 31 Jan 2011 at 16:53

Yeah but the issue with the recalling due to chipset issue? that would still be the case with any mobo with an intel chipset for sandy right?

think i mite go for the GTX480 to be on the safe side

Hmm just read the section about the chipset issue, think its best to wait untill the new boards come out.. agree?

Destroyer^ · 31 Jan 2011 at 17:25

okays, i shall wait a few more weeks.. will give me a chance to get a deffo for a graphics card

btw will these new boards just be a revised chipset? or a completely new one
