Looking to upgrade some time in feb

YOUR BASKET
1 x Sapphire HD 7950 FLEX DUAL-X 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £259.99
1 x Xigmatek Elysium Full Tower Windowed Case - Black £139.99
1 x Lamptron FC5 V2 5.25" Bay Fan Controller - Black £34.99
6 x BitFenix Spectre LED BLUE 120mm Fan £6 (£36.00)
Total : £487.48 (includes shipping : £13.75).



Originally had case on desk and it was just annoying with the LEDs, so now it's on the desk the power on/off button is annoyingly low and just generally don't like the case now so looking to upgrade it

Always liked the xigmatek as it's massive so easy air flow and can hold plenty of fans, docking on top will be useful as well.

Currently using the 6950 and running games at 5760x1080 always has pretty low fps (10-20 usually) so i'd imagine 7950 would improve this by a decent amount

not sure if I should replace the fans that are on the xigmatek of if they're nice and silent?

Want LED fans but also want it to be quiet

and need a suggestion on a decent heatsink as i'm currently using stock :p

preferably about £500 mark

thanks
 
+1 for the gigabyte card instead, under 40% fan speed, its virtually silent, with excellent temperatures, easily the best cooler solution.
 
mainly went with the sapphire as it's flex so provides all items for eyefinity, currently have eyefinity with 3 monitors (using 2 dvi and minidisplay port)

is it a lot better cooler? :p thanks.

The K2 above is a good heatsink/fan, or are you looking for something cheaper ? The case accepts coolers up to 155mm in height with the side panel fan attatched, or 185mm if you remove it.
 
yeah size isn't issue but memory clearance is as I have ripjawx from what I recall aren't very small ram sticks? :p

I went with the CM212 though
