Future proofing?

baloney
after 4 years of use, youd probably want to swap out the PSU anyway.

anuraj · 14 Jul 2011 at 21:38

Ok, so what should I go for 2 560s?

Jony27 · 14 Jul 2011 at 21:40

anuraj · 14 Jul 2011 at 21:44

Do I use the spare on a better case.

If you want, this is a nice case; http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-005-LN&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=

Also think about getting the XMS3 purely because it's know to work perfectly with SB setups.

Changed the case to what moothhead said.

Moothead2 · 14 Jul 2011 at 21:53

No need for the extra PSU.

anuraj · 14 Jul 2011 at 21:54

Think I shall order this:

Jony27 · 14 Jul 2011 at 21:55

if you want that case, you might aswell order the one with the PSU then you can make profit from it

that mobo could be changed to the gd65 that comes with the 212+ for £139 saves £35 as you wont have to buy the gellid

anuraj · 14 Jul 2011 at 21:55

I think I will get the spec above.
Isn't the Gelid better though.

anuraj · 14 Jul 2011 at 22:00

Should I go ahead and order.

Jony27 · 14 Jul 2011 at 22:01

quieter, maybe but they should be on par in cooling performance

anuraj · 14 Jul 2011 at 22:02

Ok so should I change the motherboard and order?

Yes.

anuraj · 14 Jul 2011 at 22:11

ok ordering

kmufc77 · 14 Jul 2011 at 22:26

Nice build OP,you made a decent choice getting a single card setup over a SLI/Xfire imo.

anuraj · 14 Jul 2011 at 22:31

It was a hard choice but I think it will work out better later.
