thanks m8, future proofing is key really as this has to last. a 120gb ssd is another 100 or so aswell isnt it? would i notice a huge difference with a ssd and is it just boot times it is for or what?
i see the ram is ddr3 & the gfx card you listed is gddr5, whats the difference?
ddr5 in GPU is pretty much standart and i would not even get deeper in to it. if you think there will be some clashing between ddr and ddr5, then dont worry, those have nothing to do with each other ( in the way you think
)
ssd - its a lovely thing, but its luxury. it will boot your windows in less then a minute, wheres hdd will boot it in 3 minutes. it will shave seconds of loading times. like i said, its lovely, but if you got a spare 80-100eu on one ( 64gb, 128 will set you back 140ish ) iwould sink it in to better GPU. in short: SSD is luxury, better GPU - more RAW power and performance.0 -

"If you're an overclocker, the 7970 is the better card. An overclocked 7970 beats an overclocked 680 by a noticeable margin." this is quite a bull**** statement.
http://www.hardwareheaven.com/reviews/1443/pg3/sapphire-hd-7970-overclock-edition-dual-x-graphics-card-review-test-system-and-methodology.html
this is a good 7970 with dual bios. even overclocked it is around stock gtx 680. it is not faster then 680. in fact, this is just bull**** fanboy rubbish, because in real world, there is no difference between 2 of these cards performance ways. both cards are great, but overpriced. Its just what ever you prefer: green or red.
You are right and wrong in a way. :pac: The factory overclock on the Sapphire card brings up to about the level of the stock 680, however you can easily overclock the card more. That review only benched the factory overclock, whereas the [H] one here does a manual overclock on top of it:

As you can see, the factory overclock brings the 7970 up to the level of the 680, but a manual overclock surpasses it by a significant 20% in BF3. The other games benched show similar results. On an €800 build this is completely irrelevant however 0 -

Remove DvD drive,card reader,wireless card,downgrade case and psu could save you around 80 upgrade GPU to 7870
