Hello Myles, I've finally made my decision (with many thanks to patonb for his extensive research and opinions.) I'm looking at purchasing: - Case: Antec 300 Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case - Power Supply: OCZ ZS 650w PSU - CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K 3.40GHz @ 4.40GHz Ivybridge CPU -...

By being patient, I've managed to catch a £40 reduction in the price of the build I would like (I don't know about you guys but I like to save pennies, especially when it comes to something this expensive.) I now have only one more query which I hope to be answered before I make the purchase...

As an all-rounder, would you say the 7950 is better? I probably won't be spending much time on BF3 so I'm not sure.

One more question, "Sapphire HD 7950 OC" or KFA2 GeForce GTX 660TI EX OC" which should I choose? =P

What I meant is, -how- does it do that? And does the game have to be installed onto that specific hard-drive? If so, I understand why 60gb is not enough. Sadly I doubt I shall be getting one due to the price increase, even with the SSD and GTX 570 it was cheaper than the price for just the 570...

So you still recommend that PC? And what exactly is the benefit of this extra SSD?

Having been busy over the last week I've only just had a chance to sit down and look at purchasing the computer. Sadly the price has been bumped up on the computer since I'd last checked, and I'm now not so sure about the deal. I've searched about for something better and am back to being...

Didn't expect to see so much extra information when I came back, thankful as always! The link you gave me sure looks impressive when I compare it to ones of a similar pricing. Overclocking to me has always been outside of my understanding of computers. I'm aware of what it does but am in no way...

Thank you for the breakdown, it's been particularly helpful. Thankfully due to a relatively successful set of results from my studies at college I've come into a small addition to the budget, making PC number 4 (I had originally intended to link both the 2500k and 2600k versions, but appear to...

I'm not sure what the bumping rules are here, but I was hoping to get some feedback, if possible. I've been paying more attention to link 4, and was curious if the PSU was going to be sufficient. Any ideas?

Hello all! For the last 4-5 years I've been riding out my Reliant Robin-styled PC with extreme tolerance and dedication. I've spent all this time accustomed with a shoddy GeForce 9500GT (for the latter few years, before that I was looking at other prehistoric cards I cannot remember) and a...
