If any one has any suggestions please throw them in here. The only thing I don't like about this build is that the Mobo only has 1 PCI Express 2.0 x16, so no crossfire. I'm open to anything! Thanks!
I lol'd. HD4870. Grab an HD5770 HAWK edition for $170.
I don't know should I? [img]http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/8554/idkm.png[/img]
Give me some real benchmarks, not synthetics. An HD5770 also overclocks better due to smaller process/less heat. And any benchmarks done with any drivers under 10.3 aren't accurate.
[URL]http://www.guru3d.com/article/radeon-hd-5770-review-test/14[/URL] They are pretty similar, but I suppose I should get the 5770. Any other comments? Looked more into it, going with 5770.
4870 is a nice card. 5770 is literally the same specs, and some times even lower but just with less power consumption. Depends what you think of it. I love my 4870. Plays everything I want it to play.
4890 if you can find one
Nice. With this new card I bundled it with my CPU, and I bundled my mobo with some ram! 600 dollars with my rebates! $762 dollar build, but with all these sweet saving I saved over 160 dollars :) I must say that this is pretty much the best build you can get for 600 bucks In my opinion.
I have used both the hard drive and the mobo both are great the mobo is a beast of an overclocker and the hard drive is amazing.

[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;21238485]Don't really like the window.[/QUOTE] But the black interior and external fan controller and such.
Oh and bump. One last thing. Is 500 watts able to handle all this shit guys? [url]http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/204/happyface.png[/url] For the graphics card it recommends 450W

The 450W are under full load and include the rest of the system normally.
