[nathan harris]

is there a better cooler

or do u have a better pc intierly

 

[veg1992]

What I recommended is better entirely

 

[NosBoost300]

i think for future ability..
.
i say you go with a p45 chipset
q6600
2 hd 4870's

 

[nathan harris]

HIS Hightech H487F512P Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card that one

 

[NosBoost300]

yes, HIS is an excellent brand

look around for p45 motherboards as well

and for a power supply.. look at the rosewill 850 watt.. that should be more than enough to power a dual 4870 rig

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 Yorkfield 2.66GHz 12MB L2 Cache LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor i like that one what u think

 

[veg1992]

That CPU Sucks for its price..

the Q6600 is better as its cheaper and it overclocks better

The Corsair 750tx is cheaper than the rosewill 850w and is more than enough power for 2 4870's.

The q9450 is about 5-10% faster than the Q6600 clock for clock but it has a low multiplier so you need a good motherboard to overclock it. The Biopstar Tpower p45 set the world record for the highest fsb so it should be able to overclok the Q9450 to speeds close to those of the q6600.
