Subtotal £710.70

Or one with am2 x2 4600 and a evga 7900GT.

Question is, on either setup is the psu enough? Absolute max budget of 750 notes. Tho the less the better in the £££ dept.
 
i realised I was taking a risk asking for help choosing between a connie and an x2... anyway.

My main worry was the psu. I'd read in various places that the ati cards can be a bit power hungry.

Doubt he will be clocking, he's off to uni to drink his weight in port :D
