dilemma i need a quick response all. i cant order the stuff for my i7 setup this month but i have to spend the cash in the tech pot so should i get the mobo towards the i7 setup http://www.ebuyer.com/product/160932 or http://www.ebuyer.com/product/152202 or a gtx285 oc http://www.ebuyer.com/product/158515 or a 4870x2 graphics card http://www.ebuyer.com/product/158876
Re: dilemma Better get the GeForce, (onboard) Crossfire/SLI is still too unpredictable, in special case in new games (that dont have a finished Multi-GPU profile in the drivers). + Its not that noisy as the X2 Cards >_>
Re: dilemma Rampage II Extreme ! Got it by myself, awesome board (if your PSU isnt killing it of course -.-')
Re: dilemma woot dilemma averted. Work have allowed me to roll over the cash until the start of September so ill have £611.80 then to get a new mobo, ram and cpu.
Re: dilemma *yay* But ..... wuts your graphics card right now !? If it sux, the whole upgrade is useless in games
Re: dilemma i have a 9500gt atm its not great but it does the job. i dont play any games that are too taxing on the sytem. hl2dm and tf2 both run af full res and high settings and my framerate rarely drops below 100 on a 1080p res
Re: dilemma In 6 weeks time I will be getting a new setup. The only Items I will not be getting are a Graphics Card, PSU and Blu Ray Drive. Here are the specs i have planned CPU: Intel Core i7 920 D0 2.66GHz Socket 1366 8MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor Mobo:ASUS Rampage II Extreme iX58 Socket 1366 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard Ram: OCZ 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz/PC3-12800 Reaper Triple Channel Kit CL7 1.65V Heatsink: XIGMATEK Thors Hammer Socket 1366 775 AM2 754 939 940 Heatpipe CPU Cooler It ends up being £3 over budget which is fk all and that means i will get all of that for free except for the £3 i will throw in. I will not replace the GC i have at the same time due to lack of funds. I currently have a 9500gt but that will get replaced once i have the cash. I will continue to use my PSU which is a Coolermaster RealPower 520 Modular PSU (meaning it never drops below 520 and usually provides over 600) What I want to ask is what changes would you make to what i have selected there. You guys seems to know your hardware way better than i do.
Re: dilemma I have Core i7 920 2.4GHz overclocked to 4GHz Asus P6T nVidia GTX 275 896MB 12GB DDR3 RAM Corsair HX520 PSU Your setup is great but I'd choose a cheaper motherboard...£250 for a motherboard is really O_O ...Just get the Asus P6T or Gigabyte UD5
