A good system overall. You could buy a better cpu cooler and some additional case fans down the line to overclock everything.

Wouldn't one of the Tahiti edition 7870's be better value that a GTX660Ti here, it performs roughtly the same out of the box before even factoring in a healthy overclock, and gets the build well under budget too.

I hadn't seen the benchmarks on those yet. That looks really good value for the money.

That gives you another €30 to spend on upgrading the case or going for a 120gb ssd or 2tb HDD upgrade.

You could also buy a decent cpu cooler like this to start overclocking.

You might want to get a couple of extra case fans if you are.

Thanks for the help guys totally forgot to mention that i have a samsung 120gb ssd already i was going to drop it into my old PC but i decided to wait . The SAPPHIRE HD 7870 2GB GDDR5 XT WITH BOOST is only 20euro extra so i would be crazy not to upgrade at that price . Will also pick up the coolermaster 212 looking up the reviews it looks like a great cooler . The only thing im undecided about is the PSU i might get something in the 600w-700w range just incase i decide to drop in a second graphics card in the future any suggestions

The Club3d card has the same clock speeds. I don't know how the 2 coolers compare though. I'd imagine the sapphires dual fan model is slightly better.

As for psu something like this would be loads. 140amps on the 12v line is just crazy for something this cheap.

marco_polo

The sapphire probably has a better one, the Club3D cooler is noted in the above the review as not being especially quiet, whereas the Sapphire one gets a much more complimentary mention here, so it is probably worth €20 if noise sensitive.

Thanks for all the help guys just 2 last things im probably going to get Hardwareversand to build the PC for me should i get the graphics card separately as im slightly worried about shipping it installed and while that PSU does look good im not really into the leds any good PSUs in the 550-700 range without under €80

BloodBath

This one then.

You could ask them to be sure but it should be fine. Most graphics cards are pretty secure when installed properly.
