Just wondering if anyone had any improvements to make. I dont need a case, got a Haf-x already, got a screen and windows 7 too. Thanks guys.

two of these GTX470 in sli will beat and is cheaper than that 5970- http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=gx-237-as&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1810

compare here- http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/geforce-gtx470-sli.html

Or even GTX 460 SLI, they beat 5870 CF, and as for that PSU, i would say go for a 850HX

 

[Grimley]

I'd probably swap the 5970 for 2 1Gig GTX460's in Sli, but that's just my opinion.

 

[Judgeneo]

yeah swap to 2 470s, and drop to a 850W psu, and your'll be cheaper and faster

 

[hollands990]

Thnaks for all the responces guys. Will definatley look at swapping to 470 Sli, was thinking of waiting to see what the new 6000 series brings. Also wanted to ask, is powercool a reliable make for a PSU?

[thingemajib]

Corsair
Antec
Enermax
Coolermaster
Seasonic

or OCZ

 

[HW91]

Sapphire are pretty good too

 

[stulid]

or OCZ

a bit to budget for a pc of this awesomeness, and most of the ocz psu only have two pcie connectors.

 

[notorious19]

i would say go with corsair for the psu

 

[Jony27]

seasonic and enermax are not that cheap compared to corsair or the others

 

[Mayfair]

Agreed on the 470's in SLI, Also i'd go with Corsair for the PSU

Nowt wrong with OCZ PSUs. I've been pleasantly surprised by the ease and silence with which it powers my water cooled rig.

Does only have the two PCIe connectors though so SLI/xfire aint gonna happen.
