Surely you want 8GB of RAM?

Maybe a nice Black Vengeance RAM to match the rest?

 

[Cleeecooo]

Wait for Kepler before buying the rip off 580 3gb water cooled

 

[RickST]

Yep you are right, going for a black and white colour theme so def need that ram

What is Kepler?

Always good to have an extra set of eyes look at things

 

[Cleeecooo]

What is Kepler?

New Nvidia cards due in a few months or so.

How long can you wait?

If this is a bonus from work, will you spend it?

 

[Cleeecooo]

Also, the 7970 is better if you can wait

a few months

might see if i can pick-up something second hand, suppose i could use my 4870x2....

A 4870X2 cant be that slow.

yep, I will spend it somewhere... i always do

I was also going to suggest the XFX 850W XXX PSU at £109, its not fully modular like the AX850, and its Silver vs Gold efficiency, but £80 is a big chunk of change.

 

[Cleeecooo]

The 4870 isn't a slouch, it'll tide you over atleast

Thats tricky, I have a bit of a boner for corsair PSUs for not real reason other than I have always used them and they have served me well

Yeah I think you speak sense. Will hold off on the graphics card for the moment


... also going to ruin my colour scheme

Cant tempt you?

 

[Cleeecooo]

Also, Silverstone PSUs are my fetish, 100% modular.

 

[Subliminal Aura]

The devil walks in to tempt you with an SSD ...
