Hey all I've got a bit of a dilemma and was looking for some advice. I've got an old x79 system and have been looking forward to the new AMD processors to build a new system around. However I've found the following deal as a pre built on another website at what I think is a very good price for...

Many thanks for the replies both, its much appreciated. I'll do the sensible thing and save up for a proper watercooled solution :-)

Many thanks for the quick reply :-) Yep I know £150 isnt a lot at all when it comes to this side of things, and I would rather have quality components when it comes to watercooling. Only reason I thought I'd ask is I'd seen the XSPC bundle...

Hey all, Watercooling is one of those things that I've always wanted to try and now I'm replacing my case now could be the best time! To begin with I would only like to cool the CPU but adding in graphics at a later date could be good (But at least a year away). Main reasons for...

Its a shame that you want to order soon as the MSI P67A-GD53 Intel P67 ( £109.99 inc VAT) seems to be a good buy but is out of stock at the moment :(

What sort of budget do you have for the upgrade? As you have two main options - Another S775 processor or a completly new socket (although this would mean new processor / Motherboard and Ram).

I've heard nothing but good things about the Coolermaster CM-690 II http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-196-CM Edit - The Zalman seems nice as well ^ I guess a lot is down to what you like as a style

I originally found it on a competitors site, they seem to be as well known as overclockers so I would have no reason to doubt their info.... Copied from their page... LGA1155 socket for Intel® 2nd Generation Core™ i7/ Core™ i5/ Core™ i3 Processors, ATX Form Factor, DDR3...

BF3 & Diablo 3 for me!

+1 for Stulid's build but with one slight change - I would consider the MSI P67A-GD53 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard @ £109.99 if your thinking of SLI in the future as this board will run @ x8 / x8 but it is out of stock at the moment :-/

Good choice with the PSU upgrade, its always better to go for a decent brand.

Many thanks for the replies so far. I knew they were good, but didnt realise they rated 'that' high! Currently my cpu is an E8600 @ 4.2 but this is in preparation for a planned upgrade to an i5 2500k. Am I right in thinking that this new CPU wouldnt bottleneck CF5770? As far as budget...

Hey all, Nice simple question I currently have two 5770's running in Crossfire what single card would I need to go for to get an upgrade? (Assume that im not cpu limited) I've checked the bench marks on anandtech but it doesnt have CF 5770's :-( Many thanks in advance!!

Not only trade, I am eligible for a card through my work, I think a lot of large companies also do the same (pretty sure the Wife used to get it through Vodafone for example). If you can visit one they have a membership desk, you will probably find that most professions are also on the 'list'.

Maybe I'm missing something but (As Fanatic said)....... Can you not just select the 'One Page' button to the right of 'Zoom' and 100% in your screenshot? There should be no reason why you cant get one page with any zoom level......

Heh, know what you mean. I went there at the weekend to look at a laptop (before I buy it online) and they were still trying to sell 5850's for >£200. Or one of their top of the range 'Gaming' pc's with a 5750 gfx card (and still charging £1400 for it)

So the amended item list would look like this Asus ATI Radeon HD 5850 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £224.99 Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66GHz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366) - OEM £167.99 Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard £156.98 OCZ...

ouch nice spot :-) ty

Would that cause any issues as its a dual channel motherboard?

The pc shouldnt be able to post without ram. I believe its also dependent on the motherboard whether it will throw out a beep error code. What motherboard do you have? Have you tried running with just 1 ram stick in slot 1 with all other devices unplugged (cd rom / hard disc etc). Was the...
