Spec Check

[tjlld]

I'm planning on buying a new pc for gaming later today. Any recommendations of changes would be much appreciated. Do you think the 560 Ti is worth the extra £30 over the 6870? I have read that they are pretty similar performance wise.

looks fine, i'd stick with the 560ti over the 6870.

maybe have a look at the Boogie Bug AimB.Pad XL if your desk can take it.

came in here expecting to have to change everything but the only thing i;d change is the motherboard to this one: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-368-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1990

that way you have the option of going SLI for a graphics boost

heres a comparison of the 6870 and the 560Ti. the 560Ti is definitly worth the money imo: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/290?vs=330
