Nice build, excellent cable management...no gpu?

[2NR Smurf]

^not as yet. will pick up one in dec.
leaning towards a 7870

[iM@st@1]

Not a bad card, look @ the 7950 instead tho.

[2NR Smurf]

^thats beyond my budget....
but now im reading alot of stuff online about black screen issues with hd 7000 series cards. esp the 7870

$1,000 CPU...

[M_2NR]

and ah sure they go release one in a few months for $300.00 that when bumped up a few clocks will be faster.

smurf! that PC looking tops!! excellent job man. which case is that?

[2NR Smurf]

^NZXT phantom 410. gun metal

excuse the mess in the pics..

[Ronaldo95163]

Looking really nice man!
The Gunmetal looks waaaaaaaay better than the Phantom imo

[iM@st@1]

Ya pick a bess chassis, the gunmetal looking decent.

Since I switch to nvidia I've had zero issues, perhaps check out the evga 660 sc, it's actually cheaper than the 7870 & performs really well from what I've read.

[2NR Smurf]

^yes i was actually looking at the 660 SC. The 7870 seemed like better performance for the money though...shame that there are that many defective ones out there.

[M_2NR]

I have found though I've been having lots of issues with flash and nvidia drivers since I went up to the 460.
And evga OC Scanner runs perfect. Anytime I update flash I get the issue. I think I posted about it before. But beyond that nvidia all the way!

[2NR Smurf]

I like the 660Ti, but i looking for a single gpu solution and the 192bit mem feels like a performance bottle neck.

[Chiney]

SWEETT!!

get the gtx 680 one time and dont plan to upgrade for a timing.

[2NR Smurf]

^makes sense eh....but de price boy...lawd

[AGENT RORO]

Both dimm bad out the box, endless errors in memtest86

[2NR Smurf]

^ouch. DOA items was my biggest fear when i was ordering my stuff.,

[AGENT RORO]

You using the dominator series?

[2NR Smurf]

^nah 4 x 4GB vengeance. 2 with heat-spreaders 2 without.

[Ronaldo95163]

I'm using the 8GB dominator kit with the memory fan...it performs really nicely...no issues with it. Was shocked at how much heat RAM actually produces though

[M_2NR]

I didn't realize how cheap ram got! It's 70$ for a 2x8GB kit if I'm not wrong.

Smurf the case looks bess!

Yup most of the brands share similar prices.

Anytime supertech updates their pricelist the 4gb kingston ddr3 does drop by $10.
