This isnt an excuse to slag me off , feel free to object to my comments but at least come up with some constructive critisism , im getting rather sick of this "fanboy" ****

Domi , i see good points in both your proposed builds , however i think your motherboard is a bit on the pricey side and i think if you want to crossfire in the future you will need a bigger PSU , its all about trying to future proof your build a little.

Im very busy with work at the mo I would like to see what i could put together for you at your proposed price but it will require a good few hours research time i wont have till early next week.

So if your itching to buy then i would say go for either of those builds , but have a think about getting a bigger PSU , stick with your OCZ choice for manufacturer though i know thay are very good

and normally i wouldnt say this (i never really rated DX10) BUT DX11 looks to a big leap in GPU tech so MAYBE its worth looking into a DX11 card.............its your cash

i'm just messin captain calm down haha

@ domi, that mobo is still a great choice

if you have a little extra cash i'd see about upping that case some.....

Case Dilemma:
Not very important computer part, but anyway...
ThermalTake
CoolerMaster

**lil domii** · 3 Weeks Ago

also, this mobo overclocks the processor manually when it needs to, like in games. read the reviews.

**thepizzaman** · 3 Weeks Ago

thats a good mobo also.... and yes the thermal take case does come with fans.... i'm not sure if it has two or how many so one extra 12cm fan might be a good idea but it would have the best cooling of the two

**thepizzaman** · 3 Weeks Ago
