Th 970's ram is too low for future games. It would be crazy to go sli now over a single card.

My 290 is still running great 3 years later and even better with the new 16.12.1 drivers. It's crazy to think I would get so much mileage from the card but I have to give props to AMD for supporting old cards so well. The 1080 is tempting but think ill hold on for Vega. If I am lucky I'll get...

I agree the best card is the one suited to the games he will be playing. The AMD cards are great value but it would be pointless if he will get better fps with a Nvidia one in those selected games. You can't go wrong with a 1060 6gb really even if it is a bit overpriced. Keep an eye on prices it...

I would never take an AMD card if he will be playing a lot of world of warcraft. It has notoriously favoured Nvidia cards since it was released. You lose a lot of performance and experience huge frame drops if you set the view distance high.

Not sure dropping a grand on a new build is worth it when the cpu you have is still decent and skylake is not that far away. Better getting a new graphics card and ssd as suggested above.

Thanks for the suggestions I'll probably go for one of the gold units although the antec ea looks very good as well.

I'm thinking of getting a 290 or possibly a 780 to go with my 4770k and g1 sniper mobo and need a new psu. Fully modular I think would be best and I do plan to overclock. I was looking at the RM series by Corsair but reading the reviews has put me off somewhat are they really as bad as they say...

I can really rate the sniper especially the audio quality. There were afew niggles initially but it's rock solid now and the UK rma is reassuring if there was to be an issue.

Changing to the other output socket seems to have completely resolved this for me also I can finally listen to something without the sound issues so happy days thanks

I will have a play around and see if I can fix it, it might be the surround slider like you say.

It seems to be I've set it to loud so it maintains the volume but it still seems to go quiet and loud when it wants to I'm not sure how to fix it. Turning smart volume off seems to make no difference

I am having a problem with the audio on my G.1 Sniper as well when playing any audio it sounds like someone is rolling the volume control higher then lower. Listening to any music is frustrating and this is something I have never experienced before with a motherboard. Could it be a problem with...

The psu seems fine. It has only one PCI-e 6 Pin but it should power a 660 gtx or a 7850 with no problems at all. Both cards can run skyrim on ultra at 1080p but try get a 2gb one if you can. You could also consider a 650ti boost which is just slightly under a 660 in fps but abit cheaper.

A new gpu and a ssd would probally give you the biggest boost. You could look at changing the processor at a later time when you have the funds.

Worst has to be while on holiday in spain as a kid. My dad brought some meat back from the supermarket. It tasted like chicken and fish that had gone off. I noticed he wasn't eating any and had a grin on his face when I asked what the hell it was he laughed and said el burro!

Haha well played! Bet they **** themselves after realising someone had outsmarted them. Hopefully fraud squad catch them before they scam anyone else.

A 760 would make a huge difference nvidia cards always get 10 or 20 frames higher than amd in wow.

I will overclock yes, looks like the 7850 is the best bet then. Cheers for the help fellas

Hi my budget is around 140. I will probally sell the games to keep the cost down.

Hi guys been looking at these two cards and dont plan to upgrade for at least a year if not longer. I will be using a 21 inch monitor at 1920x1080p I can get the 660 abit cheaper but im worried the 192 memory on the 660 will be a problem. Would the 7850 be more future proof with its 256 bit...
