I thought he was dead.I live near his corpse.
It just seems that it would be a much better deal if your are already spending $300 on a graphics card. The 6950 runs cooler and uses less power aswell. I don't know why everyone despises ATI, I have never had a problem.I've got nothing against ATI, I'd just prefer an NVIDIA card. Also I'm not spending $300 on the card. It's $245, $230 if I go with EVGA's model. If there were a similar discount on the 6950, I'd go for it, but all the cards listed on newegg are $300+.
I would suggest getting the 6950 at this point. At the current it may only perform a little better but with driver updates and what not you will most likely see an advantage in the end.Not a huge fan of ATI, if I were going to get a card that's $300 it'd be NVIDIA. 470 is cheaper regardless, and will do everything I need it to.
As monocle suggested, going with the i5 would probably be better. Not only is the processor $100 cheaper, it is also about equal as far as gaming performance goes. Going with the i5 would also leave you with a socket 1156 board as an option which would only run you about $120 for a good one.I'd do this, but I figured that if I got an i7 and a motherboard that would suit it, I'd have plenty of room to upgrade in the future. If price becomes an issue I'll go with an i5 though.
Ram could still be at six but you would be than fine with 4gb or 8gb. I didn't look too at your entire post, but a copy of windows 7 would run you about $100.RAM isn't too expensive, so I'll stick with 6GB. I think I found a good deal anyway. I didn't include it but yeah I'll be buying a copy of Windows 7 as well.
And if you do choose that card I wouldn't choose an enhanced cooling design. If it is the same price, then go for it. I've been running a 470 on stock with no problems at all. I was also able to get a pretty decent overclock even with the stock cooler.The difference in price between EVGA's model and MSi's is only $15, so I figured I'd go with MSi's. A cooler computer is always nice, and according to MSi that design is also significantly quieter.
Well just looking at those quick I know of a good motherboard for about $30 less and decent RAM for $40 less. The video cards are kind of poo even with two of them. Unless you're running a bajillion video cards and super overclocking 650 watts is good enough for a PSU, and Cooler Master is a reputable brand.Could you link the motherboard and RAM? Also thanks for clarifying with the CPU cooler. I didn't think I needed anything extra.
At the moment I'm using the stock cooler with my i7-950 and I've had no problems running it at default settings.
Oh wow I laughed at this. Great book.
