Well, it's the faster card of the two the OP was considering....why not get a free cable if you're getting that speed card?
What did you end up getting, EJtheK?
I ran Prime again today and was at 50C under load after 10 minutes. It was quite warm in here when I ran it last time, much cooler today. I'm ordering a flash drive tomorrow so I can flash to the new BIOS of my board before I start with the overclocking.
From what I've read about the Phenom II, it's not good to get the temps much over 55. Maybe 60 at the highest. The new Intel chips run much hotter than the AMDs do
Well, here's what I went with... I figured with the video card that I'm getting (6870) is going to be overclocked it for a little bit and possible go with crossfired 6870s in a couple months, I would need a crossfire board too. The rig came in yesterday and works well. I'm going to have to...
Yeah, I'd much rather spend the extra money on GPU than storage... I've heard great things about the AMD 890FX chipset in terms of overclocking. I'm looking to get the 955 up to about 4GHz and just looking for a stable board for that with adequate cooling on the power circuitry. Also, is that...
My last upgrade was my PSU, 4670 and case last year. I'm learning about all the new stuff. I've always liked Samsung's TVs but never heard much about the hard drives... I'm all ears now...errr, eyes. I have a few days until my account is credited for the order cancellation so I have time to...
Well, I'm thinking of Dragon Age too. Maybe some newer games next year. I've played a few shooters but haven't found one that really stood out to me yet
I'll let others chime in on the CPU/Mobo/Video card as I'm not up to date on the newest chipsets, etc. I'm looking into the Phenom II 955 myself. Seems like a good bang for the buck to me... Are you going to be overclocking this rig or?
The case, PSU and monitor all look like solid choices to me. For RAM, why not spend the extra 5 bucks and get these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820226103 They are CAS 7 and have a $15 rebate!
I think the 750 would definitely be the better deal over the 760 then. Still not sure though because the AMD 955 is a lot cheaper than either of those and should match or outperform the Intel chips when overclocked, right?
