I actually had the case listed before King, but I think I prefer the asthetics of the HAF X more.

Ivy bridge I7's are expensive, or do you just mean the bridge on the mobo.

670's are out, benchmarks show them competing/beating out 7970's at the usuals while drawing less power than a 560 ti, for $400.

Hopefully this means another 7970 price cut?

AMD won't cut prices again. Save a few bucks so you can get the GTX670

[JackalStomper]

yeah its tempting

[Amit]

Why do you even consider a $400 GPU? Do you need it?

[JackalStomper]

yes

[InnerGoat]

yep

bigger my frame rate at high resolutions

Hey Folks, thanks for the input. My mate also said 670 came out so I'm thinking I'll just get the EVGA 670 Superclocked, which is on level with the 680 and like £100 less.

Parts:
OCZ 120GB SSD
EVGA 670 GTX SuperClocked
Corsair 850W HX Modular PSU
Corsair 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz Jet Black
Asus P8Z77-V SOcket 1155 (friend showed me this, thoughts?)
Intel i7 3770k Ivy Bridge 3.5Ghz

Coolermaster HAF X Case

Rough cost so far: £1,223.53 / $1966.52

I keep forgetting that I'm living in the past with just one display for gaming.

You're spending too much. I'm assuming you're running at 1080 @ 60hz, why do you want a 670? If you're not planning on SLI you're waisting your money on anything above a ~600w PSU. You're waisting your money on 16gb of ram unless you're pushing huge amounts of polies or raw video. Is there a reason you need the hyperthreading of the 3770k?


fuck that jcap guy too
