9.6/10

9/10. Mega overkill for just a gaming and light editing though.

 

[Mei]

does no one else think that case looks ugly from most angles?

 

[Kosmiche]

It does resemble a poor mans 650D tbh.

put 2 690's in it

 

[StonedPenguin]

Spending £870 on a GTX690 is not good value, Considering you have chosen a large case theres no reason you cant fit in 2 670's or even 3 for around £900 which will be much faster than a 690.

 

[Mei]

somehow i dont think this is a budget build
goodlooking has a price!

 

[olivier renault]

2 evga 670 4GB with waterblocks.

This. Go faster and will probably be easier to cool...

 

[Nuclear Fusion]

690 is poor value for money, get yourself 2 670's instead.

 

[KaiserDJG]

I agree but thats personal preferance i think you would find a better case more suitable for adding a watercooling system

Hi just would like to thank everyone who replied. I see most of you are saying go for 2x Sli GTX 670's & even 3x Tri Sli 670's but you have to remember the GPU will be water cooled. So if you see below and I get 3x 670's I will end up paying more as to if i just get a single 690 with a water block. Plus I have seen benchmarks for 3x 670's vs a 690 and it's not a big big difference yes maybe in some games but paying a bit more would it justify 3x 670's ?

[tamzzy]

way overkill on the psu.
tbh, this build is the open chequebook build. poor value for money though

 

[StonedPenguin]

Yeah 1200w really isnt needed. Could run the 3 670s on a decent 850-900w psu, Probably less.

 

[shadow007]

Also just noticed the 670's 2GB so more money 4GB version for £372.92 Inc VAT this is a price I got from another website since overclockers don't have a 4GB version
So that's 3x 670's Total £1118.76
Plus 3 water blocks at £79.99 each Total £239.97
And giving me a grand total of: £1358.73

So what would you say is good value for money then? But you must remember the build has to eat up any latest game for dinner on the highest settings possible.

 

[Trusty]

Eat up games? Spend half that and you'd still be sorted.

dont even need to be watercooled. this air cooled spec is good enough

 

[horrorwood]

7/10, if you are serious about doing photo/video editing you should not be buying a TN panel monitor.
