Hey thats cheating, changing budget ! ;) Looks ok but you had better get a new psu if your suddenly rich.

Edit, it still should be ok, but if you start overclocking. i dunno.

lol!

It's not that I don't have the money it's more trying to explain the outlay to the girlfriend . . . especially seeing as we 'can't afford' new windows we desperately need at £400 a pop :o
 
there's 36 amps on the 12v rails, it should be more than sufficient even if you wanted to get a gtx670...lol
it should be fine even if you overclock ur cpu+gpu
 
and with regards to your better half, just tell her that upgrading ur rig = can see prettier videos and pics, that's so much better than looking out of the window and seeing it rain all the time
xD

OK gonna order I think...girlfriend never needs to know and the windows can wait.

If I need to start seriously overclocking and need more power I'll order that in a while in 6 months or so and get a SSD.

Thanks all for the help I know you get a lot of threads like this - it is appreciated xxx :cool:

you won't regret the gpu upgrade.
 
Stupid window has cracked and need to replace it lol bloody £400!

Budget severed :mad:

Can't now afford to spend more than £200 right now...

Thought I would just order the GPU for now and get more components next month.

I am assuming the 7850 will fit my

Case:
Cooler Master Elite 335 Case - Black
Motherboard:
Asus M4A78-E AMD 790GX (Socket AM3) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

:confused:

I am thinking I should get much better gaming performance from the 7850...
