Looks great but would I try and get a better HDD.

 

[faihaf]

when u say better you mean a SSD or just bigger size ?

Western digital 1TB atleast I would say. If you can afford an SSD, even an 80GB, then I would get one for your OS and your favourite game.

 

[faihaf]

thanks i have changed it sorry cant afford ssd already over budget. anything else ?

I'd change the SLI setup to a single 590 or a 7770 if i have my numbers right.. it may be the 7750 im thinking of.. Im sorry, i can't remember!

any advantge of 7950 can it support PhysX ?? 590 would be too expensive.

no i believe it doesn't, however, if you can afford one I would,

 

[faihaf]

thanks but what is the real advantage of going for 7950 over 2gb 560ti x2 ?

 

[Corfate]

As it is on it's own, it's a faster card, so if you save up, later down the line you could add another, which would be much better than dual 560's I think if im right, it's the second fastest card available? (back me up tom, im having a slow day, and it's only 24 mins in!)

 

[tom_gr7]

one stronger card is always better than going for two weaker cards, less power used, less heat output, less fans needed to cool system,

plus a 7950 is the second fastest single gpu on the market currently, and you could get a 7950 and a 650w corsair, then in the future add another 7950.
