Mosasaur

The first is cheaper but still seems very capable, whichever one i go for i will be using the crossfire option, which is completely overkill for 1920x1080 but i want it to last a long time :) Main use is gaming.

Case wise i have the old cm690 now and its good, so the II in white looks pretty nice, coolermaster case looks good too though.

Is 4.4ghz on a 2500k considered a good overclock? Seen people reach 5ghz on them, also the ocz power supplies, are they stable enough to handle 2 6950's?

Thanks, Will be ordering tommorow.
 
I've seen people comment on here that there's no real advantage on the i7 over the i5 for gaming. So personally, I would go with the cheaper i5 setup. But wait for someone who knows more about gaming to comment. I'm not clued up on current gaming at all.
 
Titan Megalosaur. i5 will be fine for gaming and has a great case!

Use the money saved for GPU or SSD or 1tb hdd.

As for the PSU I can't comment on OCZ psu's.

You can make changes by calling the Sales Team. I've found them very helpful.
 
Thanks mike, decided im going for the megalosaur with 2 6950's, will be great for gaming, im going to research a bit on ocz psu's and maybe call up the sales team and ask for a corsair 750w :)

This might help you, review of the 600W, I haven't read it though.

OCZ StealthXStream 2 600 W Power Supply Review

thanks, even for the 600w it looks good

Technically the unit is solid throughout all aspects of performance. The ripple results are excellent and the unit falls well within rated specifications, it also managed to maintain strong voltage stability throughout the range. The fact we could easily get another 100w from it without issue means OCZ have been playing it safe throughout the development cycle, meaning that even under reasonable gaming load this will be delivering a high consistency of power.

700w should be ideal :)
 
Your two choices are the exact two machines I have been thinking of buying. To save money though I've decided to buy components and build a similar spec machine myself. Never done it before so I'm bricking it but money is tight and I'l learn a lot in the process.
