Bigger problem here is the manufactorer :/ I went online and found performance tests and it just said 7870 all the way :l you said no to sapphire before but from what I find people seem to find them awesome, do I want XFX, gigabyte, ASUS, VTX3D or Sapphire? :/ I've been using PNY and PoV gforce...
Hey as I was ordering they sent me a message saying they are now stocking XFX HD 7870's for £20 more than the 6970.
"XFX ATI Radeon 7870 1GHz 2GB PCI-Express 3.0 HDMI Core Edition"
(£269.98)
Reckon £20 is worth it? I can't see much differance between them :D
Gigabyte version £289
Asus £279...
Very last question I will ask you, thanks fo much for your help saved me around £250! :D
Is this monitor worth going for: Asus VS238H 23" Full HD LED?
Currently have a lame monitor, default dell from 6 years ago xD.
Hm thanks for those I do like the Corsair carbide 500R
But newegg's review of the NZXT phantom is so good it's hard to say no to that,
But would other versions of the phantom fit (Is the full tower necessary?) because in my mind £100+ for a case is a bit much :/ but with delivery off the...
To be honest I decided to change what I was doing a little, dropped computer planet and going to get some help from a tech to build it myself... (And I think I can get better for cheaper)
Looking at now:
i5 2500k
A50 cooling
Not sure about graphics card, considering 570 or 6970 but it's...
Will I need to consider extra cooling for the 570 OC? I hear a lot of problems with it and it's £2.50 less, has 752Mhz core clock and 480 cores, 2.5GB Memory clock 3300Mhz Vram according to the specs
The 6970 has 880Mhz and 1536 cores but only 2GB vram memory clock 5500Mhz, I know this is just...
Well they are offering an OC'd 570 to 2.5gb
http://www.computerplanet.co.uk/products/nvidia-geforce-gtx-570-oc-2.5-gb-pov-pci-e-2090461.html would that change anything?
They also have a 2GB 560 TI as I linked earlier
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti - 2 GB - (PALIT) (PCI-E)...
The problem is CP don't offer that PSU, you also can't buy one without a PSU. Which wouldn't be a problem if I knew what I was doing really :/
The PSU selection is also really limited off them (GS600, 700, 800 & a large amount of cooler master ones)
Could this rig run with the GS600?
I...
HI guys and thanks for all your help so far :)
I'm kind of wondering which graphics card people would recomend in general not just out of the selection I had in the sort of up to £250 cards? the 6970 is at £220 (I know I can clock the 6950 up)
(It's not that necessary but I'd like to max out...
Well on the overclocking side I'm not really sure if I will or won't yet, still running on a pentium dual core with awful cooling so never thought about it.
The idea of going for 16gb ram rather than 8gb was it is only £25 more and it kinda future proofs the system?
Motherboard I really...

Hey all I'm building a PC for competitive (e-sport leagues) gaming and for music editing, planning on using ComputerPlanet for it, I know it's kind of cheating but it is convienient. I live in the UK. well I have yet to get any parts (they will build and send...
