| 1270014 | 2012-04-15 03:17:00 | ivy bridge is a bit over rated. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1270015 | 2012-04-15 04:04:00 | ivy bridge is a bit over rated. Lol, big call considering they aren't out yet. Prliminary test results seem to show approx 5% better performance clock for clock with lower temps and power usage. And these are just the first release models. Back on topic, are you a big gamer and do you have a preference for AMD graphics cards? A 7950, 7970, 560Ti, or 570 would be a better choice and as I mentioned Z68 is now superseded by Z77. Really though there's nothing wrong with what you posted, so if you're keen on those parts go ahead. |

| 1270018 | 2012-04-16 01:30:00 | No no no wait for 7990... | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1270019 | 2012-04-16 01:33:00 | chaz the 7970 is $850 bucks. the 7990 will be well over $1300. I know it will be a great GPU but this guy clearly is not interested in having a very high end GPU and the 7770 is an awesome card for what he wants and is very cheap. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1270020 | 2012-04-16 02:21:00 | From memory 7770 is about the same as a 460 performance wise. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1270021 | 2012-04-16 02:22:00 | XFX, that build there is great. That case is a good call too. You'll be very happy with it. This is a great resource and very handy for comparing card performance - www.anandtech.com And Chaz, not everyone needs the latest and most powerful gear, that kind of advice isn't too helpful. |

| 1270022 | 2012-04-16 02:54:00 | S HD7750-1GD5 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0 - $230 If that is a Sapphire card, can I suggest getting a Gigabyte or other brand. From personal experience I dont think Sapphire build a good card (even with using good parts). Just my personal opinion. Other than that, sounds like it will be a nice build. Good luck. |
