Yeah the GTX 650 Ti are quite low on price now. Lower than the 7790, about the same as the 7770. Right now the 650TI should be pushing the 7770 down pricewise. Right now both the 7790 and the 650TI are about at the same level. The 7700 is also still there, as is a feeling of shame. He really shouldn't be there. Drop the sucker down the€100 cliff. THAT GOES FOR YOU TO FANCY COOLERS!
But there is other things at play here. I want a good stock cooler. Hence, I am currently looking at the ASUS 7790 DCU 2 OC 1GB, which is about €10 more than the cheapest 650TI with an inferiour cooler. Figuring it's worth it actually. The ti Boost is another €40 on top of that, but that is a bit too much.
Any ideas? The build will be something like this:
AMD FX-8320 - 8350 is too expensive. doesn't feel worth it. Might dabble in overclocking.
ASYS M5A97 2.0 - seems lite a decent board for a low price. I'm on a budget and it's all sacrifices. Only 4+2 VRM though.. How will that work with overclocking an FX 8
ASUS 7790 DCUOC 1GB - Might crossfire later on. Depending on how other things go.
Corsair CX430 latest version - Will work, will have to replace it going crossfring.
2 x 4GB Kingston HyperX T1 1866Mhz (KHX1866C9D3T1K2/8GX) - If they are still avaliable at the store when I can get them. I have no idea what I'm looking at here, but I've been told fast memories are good when overclocking. I might have to get something else at the same price ticket (€50-55iwh)
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - Cheap and everyone talks about it can't be bad.
NZKT Source 210 Elite - Looks good as well.
Also a 500GB Hitachi DESKSTAR 7K1000.C, whish is fairly loud (or "clattery"), but I have to ghetto that to shape somehow.
That will be it. Will be used for everything from developing, toying around with VM's, possibly even some basic CAD stuff. I think it will serve me and my 2 x 1280 x 1024 monitors well (if I find a good deal on a cheap larger monitor I'll go for it, which is why it is nice to have crossfire capabilites). If you have any qualms about anything, feel free to have a drink or a pill on me!
EDIT: BTW, I would much rather have a single 8GB stick but they are getting more and more expensive it feelsl like.
