[QUOTE=r4nk_;26444841]Wait what? are you serious? I'm not ignoring you? I'm getting the gigabyte for ~200 bucks[/QUOTE] You should really change the OP as you update, people are more likely to go on the OP rather than reading through everything.

My first thread here, I didn't realise that was the go People probably think I'm a dick now, but I am actually reading everything that is suggested and taking it all into consideration. So far I've made a fair few changes to the parts list and appreciate all the input..

definitely get the 900-2 if your gonna get a 900, its much better, it has cable management holes, fans with built in fan controllers, and a black interior among other things.

I think one is a tower case, I really have no idea.

[QUOTE=poopsicle;26444471]I think you can overclock it to 3.8GHz, but you might want to get more than a stock cooler.[/QUOTE] I have my 870 at 4.1 right now with a hyper 212+. Not sure where the idea of the 950 being better at overclocking comes from. [editline]2nd December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=poopsicle;26444309]You'd be surprised at the amount of people who don't want to overclock, not to mention they don't know how too.[/QUOTE] So then don't overclock it. Nobody would notice the difference between the two anyways.
