New PC for games

[ryanmercer]

Okay so an extra $105 (cart is at $1,038) than your previous posted build but some more power. Seems fair to me.

I will get a blu-ray in the future, I don't even own any blu-rays yet so no rush for that. Hoping to order this tomorrow now.

The 7950 is at least 60% faster then the 560 Ti I originally had in your first build. You should be good to.

Ordered it all. Apparently you can't even pay with a Canadian credit card on newegg.com even if shipping to the states.

I ordered every thing off of ncix.com instead. I paid roughy $100 more having to get a different case but got an awesome deal on a 700w power supply.

Thanks again Goku, made this fairly easy.

That sucks about not ordering off Newegg like that. Smart of their part I guess.

What 700W PSU and case did you get just out of curiosity?

Enjoy the new rig too!

I got this power supply:

This case:

This ram:

Same motherboard, graphics card, processor, DVD player.

Also how would I go about overclocking the graphics card. Would it be a noticeable difference or downgrade the life of the card at all?

Is there a website that shows how to?

[Goku]

That PSU isn't the best of quality, but it will do at least you got a decent price and it looks modular on top of that.

Case and ram look like good choices as well.

For overclocking check out this guide here that was done for the 7950. As far decreasing the life of the card that is a possibility, but if it shouldn't be a issue even if you keep it for say 3 years. Just be careful to not put that much voltage into it if you decide to go that route.

What is the difference in modular to non?

[Goku]

You can take off extra power connectors off you don't need. Helps keep the case more clean with not as many wires being in there.
