IMO no, you are pretty much paying for nearly 0 gain. You need new CPU, mobo which is not really cheap.

I heard Amazon's Visa card is good



You just got your 860 a few months ago (or even less than that), and its still extremely powerful. No point upgrading if you cannot notice the difference =.="

I got it like 2 weeks ago :roll:

Yes but if I can upgrade without paying towards it ? only thing is I might have to sacrifice 4gb ram, a smaller SSD (60gb vs90gb) and storm scout case opposed to my sniper. Again I think I can do this without paying anything towards the build and might even be able to go HD 6850 crossifre

What about a new GTX560? My friend is selling his for £170 I think. He's only ever on OcUK forums & he's put it up on there but I'll ask if he still has it.

*taps nose*

It works out £3 cheaper for me to buy a 570 from Scan.

@Innocent, if it's reference and he can post today, i'm interested.

Becomes much harder to choose, but I would not downgrade on case. the rest I can swallow.

i want something nice and new.

Listen to your AdviceDog and get a Mac ;) Seriously, don't bother getting a new graphics card yet, unless you want to sell your current one.

Hmm.. take it he can't post today then.

Looking at it, the 560 and 480 are the same price, yet the 480 is 18% (IIRC) better... hmm

But 480 is louder and hotter, if you care about that.

Anyone want this PS3 for cheap. I've read of them working if you reseat the TIM. If he doesn't reply i'll either try myself or sell it on for damn cheap.

Also, triple post = pure win

One question, if you goes from non RAID to RAID 0, do you need to reinstall Windows?
