Working on a budget.

A stupid question I know, regardless.

The 10/100/1000 GIGABIT LAN Port that comes standed is indeed suitable for a wired Broadband connection to be connected to?

Yes xD

Oh and +rep for being an internet hero.

get the wired if your never going to get wireless, but id consider the wireless because you may end up transferring later on, lets see how she looks then... a final look before she's ordered

It can be purchased later on by contacting pcs since GetCreature will be ordering a pc from pcs. pcs allows customers who purchased a system from them to buy parts for the system the had bought.

that looks good to me, just make sure you phone them to install a side fan, you will likely need it

 

[Wozza63]

oh and remove the anti-virus trial before ordering and the MS Office if you dont need it, and im not sure if i said already but remove the memory card reader if you dont need it, that will save you a fiver

i find that most devices that i own that have a memory card are often too small, so adapters must be purchased and most devices will have USB capability to get the files, even if the companies software is crap, cough cough Samsung phone software!!

 

[GetCreature]

Ah good shout, thanks for letting me know. +rep.

Well, considering the demo's were layed on a single GTX 580, I'd say yes, although you might not get a constant 60 (more like a constant 45-50 with the occasional drop to 30)

why do you think it will drop, also my mobo has this in the description
"GPU Boost - Push the Limits with iGPU Level Up! "

also i only thought i could have 2 graphics cards, turns out to be 4!!! not that my PSU will support 4 but in 15-20 years time i could buy a 100,000W PSU and then get 2 more hehe, computers will probably be stuck in our heads by then

I also love that at any time i can switch to integrated graphics, saving a lot of energy by turning off that power hungry 6970

sorry to dig this back up btw

 

[LinearHD]

Changed my mind, I reckon you'll get a constant 45-50. Also about having 4 graphics cards... it's kindof a gimmick because a) scaling gets worse with every card you add and b) two of your cards will be running at x4 because the motherboard isn't designed to have 4 cards, so your performance gain will be abysmal for the money you're going to spend. I'd say run a few years with the 6970, then add another one and run for another few years, the buy a new single powerhouse card

Would the difference be noticeable between the 4GB RAM & 8GB RAM? If so, would there be a drastic difference?

 

[GetCreature]

The same question goes for the 3.40 GHz & the 3.50GHz.
