| 767487 | 2009-04-22 10:45:00 | Depends on the airflow of the case. What have you got? | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 767488 | 2009-04-22 10:46:00 | i have got a trendsonic wizard. But am going to upgrade to either the coolermaster storm scout or the haf 932 | Openingfuel (14473) | ||
| 767489 | 2009-04-22 11:51:00 | I heard the HAF932 has excellent airflow. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 767490 | 2009-04-22 17:14:00 | 100% full tower with good cooling to get rid of the heat and to fit them in as well!!!:cool: HAF932 has some good reviews on the internet.:thumbs: It would be cheaper to just buy one of these instead of buying 3 x 260GTX's: Nvidia GeForce GTX 285 1GB or a Nvidia Geforce GTX 295 1792MB Check out www.pricespy.co.nz for computer parts prices. What cpu are you going to use? And how much ram are you going to have as well? |

| 767492 | 2009-04-23 01:28:00 | What cpu are you going to use? And how much ram are you going to have as well? I am going to use the Q6600 with the v8 or perhaps water cooling. And ill keep using the 4gbs of ram i already have. |

| 767493 | 2009-04-23 01:45:00 | Unless you have at least 6k to spend on a PC tri SLI is a massive waste. Who needs more than one GTX 295 anyway? Much more sensible than even a standard SLI setup. I've only got a GTX 260 and it plays anything I can throw at it at max settings at 1920*1080, depending on the game at anywhere between 30FPS (crysis) and 100 FPS (COD4). Only go for tri SLI if you want to get a properly mean watercooling setup for the cards. |

| 767494 | 2009-04-23 04:10:00 | Openingfuel:PC at the moment: Case: trendsonic wizard Cpu: q6600 @2.4ghz Motherboard: ga ep35-ds3r Graphics card: sapphire HD 4850 Hard drive: 320gb RAM: 4gb 800mhz That's a pretty good set up as it is!!!:)That set up should be able to play games sweet as!!!:thumbs: You could just add another 4850 graphics card for Crossfire for a quick cheaper upgrade.:) Or sell the 4850 you have now and just get one good graphics card. Ps Is there really any need to upgrade what you have or just a want to factor? Maybe a better mouse,keyboard,new 24'' monitor,ups,a back up harddrive would be better instead.:):2cents: |
