Spec Check Before Ordering Tommorow

It doesn't. I have bought 4 in the last 6 months, they talk crap or have supersonic bat hearing and are listening to next door's microwave hum or something.

Got one outside of a case next to me right now, it's resting on a cardboard box, quiet as a mouse.

uhmm, guess the noise factor put me off.. but if this is true, then its worth the extra thew quid, great stuff!
 
Hi again, ordering this bad boy today!

Considering changing the gtx 660 to an 7870 2048MB.
wanted to add a thew games to the selection for the little extra price.. not too sure about the performance difference is it worth replacing the existing card?

was looking at either:

MSI HD 7870 Twin Frozr III OC 2048MB - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-153-MS

Gigabyte HD 7870 OC Windforce 3X 2048MB - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-099-GI&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=411

i have also found and saved £20 on this monitor http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-182-SA, monitor is going to be used primarily for gaming and was wondering if you guys thought it would do the job, if not could you reccomend me one that does?
not botherd about 22-24' just need the best performance for gaming I can get for my £ (150-170)

I am also considering replacing the Corsair PSU with this - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-014-XF

The XFX PSU is another good one, its just more expensive, but the corsair will power nearly every single GFX card just fine.


Out of the two 7870 cards you have selected,the Gigabyte has the better cooler.

Cheers Stulid, can save myself a little more by going back to the Corsair 550w Mod, just thought the XFX would be better/future proof since I'll be looking to overclock my CPU/GPU.
 
Ordering in the next couple of hours...

could anyone check the Monitor ^, wether it is good enough etc?

not sure about this PSU since ill be OC'ing.

Get it built now and use your TV and get your OS and drivers installed.
Just plug your monitor in when it arrives. and you are up and running.

This is a potential option, however with me being as paranoid as I am, I would rather wait untill my monitor arives so all the parts are with me before starting the build :D.
