rofl cant deside on new hardware

[Sam DeathWalker]

The money on the processor is a waste but ....

Plus more then 8G in ram seems a waste IF you have the revo but ....


I am a fan of LL cases but the fact there are no air holes on the side panels gives me a little pause. Still the front fan control and the three 120 fans is great, and all aluminum is a big plus for cooling.

I would still take my TT shark case over that one, cause of the real ease in swaping hard drives and the holes in the side.




But thats gonna be a real state of the art system. Might look into an NIC card later, not sure though.

You need a super CPU cooler also, I use TT Big Typhoon but its old in the tooth nowadays.


Boy it sure is misleading but that video card is worse then the 5000 series .....

The 480 is faster then the 5870 which is faster then then 6870 .... I thought that AMD was winning but I guess in sinlge CPU Nvidia is rulz now.


One would think that the 6870 is the top of the ATI line but its not.



I'd go with a 920 cpu and 8G ram and get some super video card instead



well ok from this list it seems that after you eliminate all the CF and SLI duel cards the 1.5G 480 is the best:

Sparkle Calibre X480

• (GTX 480 1536 MB)

No time to read it all but there is a ton of infos on this card here:

Yeah, I've had this for about a week. At stock clock's it's at 35-38c Idle, and 50c under load. Haven't tried overclocking yet, but I'm sure it can like a beast

and it will have lower noise them most other video cards with stock cooling. LoL you just know that a video card with 3 fans on it has to have something going for it... never used that company but ...

People are going for the 6870 as well (I don't think they know about the reviews showing the 480 kicking it) but I think the extra .5G ram makes the 480 better in this case, for wow.



I'm upgrading to a 460 soon but if I thought it would help Id get the sparkle 480 (I just run one character on my main so 460 is fine).




Here cpu cooler with TWO 120 fans cheap too:
