[jay303]

hello everyone im going to build a new pc sometime in the next 2 months i did have a plan for a build here it is:-
2x hd 6970
amd phenom II x4 3.2ghz
4g dominator gt ram
corsair 750watt psu
asus crosshair IV formular
haf x case

but a mate of mine told me that it would be best to go with nvidia so my new plan is
1x Gainward GeForce GTX 580 "Phantom" 3072MB
amd phenom II x4 3.4ghz
4g dominator gt ram
corsair 650watt modular psu
asus crosshair IV formular
cm storm sniper case

what do you think of the new build?

 

[jay303]

i dont really know what im looking at when it comes to sandy bridge and ive only got 380 to spend on cpu mobo and ram.

 

[jay303]

its so hard deciding ive been looking at the SB systems and they do look good.
in total i have a £1100 budget and i know i can get quite a good system for that
if i go intel nvida or amd ati.
