Yeah its weird. Any temperature issue ? Like he says, I think you need faster memory. Have try OC your memory ? But still, if you OC something that high (CPU/GPU), its should be have better performance, at least 2-3%...

I see, Im just thinking you need some OC the X3 if you want to put a 470 GTX with it :D.

True... It can, but HD 5xxx series has lesser SLI scaling then HD 6xxx. I guess its not worth. Like this : A 5850 got 100FPS But CF 5850 not 200 FPS, maybe its just 130-150FPS And CF 5850 + 5870 about 140-160FPS While : A 6870 got 100FPS Like before, but has better scalling, a CF 6870 would...

The cooler are support up to 9800GTX+ While the 250 GTS are rebranding from 9800GTX Im pretty sure it will fit in. But can your case fit all in ?

If I may say, I think your PC have good balance. If you just upgrade CPU, in my opinion its not efficient. But if you really need one, I think your GPU still matched a 760. Furthermore if you have extramoney try to sold that P55 and go to i7 950 :D

Ever try to overclock your CPU ? Try to OC your CPU by 10%, then record the diferent (FPS) Make your CPU normal, then OC your GPU by 5%, then record the diferent (FPS) Normally, if : CPU (OCed) FPS > GPU (OCed) FPS, then you got bottleneck CPU. CPU (OCed) FPS < GPU (OCed) FPS, then you...

So, about your friend, will he overclock that Athon II X3 ? Its nice to have some boost to balance the GPU.

a 470 do just fine doing GTA IV at 1920x1080 settings high. But if it is in budget, a 5870 would better. Both of the card have a DX11 compatible.

I do like this, very thin. And put another at the midle. With pressure from heat sink and heat from CPU when hot, bb in the midle would fill up any hole remaining. Well thats just my theory.

I think it is normal. I got 66-68 in idle too and about 85-90 in full load. EDIT : Sorry I just notice the fan work at 70. I think yess, it has trouble. Im in 66-68C, but my fan only 27% not 70. Try to call the shop where you buy it, and tell them it so hot because it has 65C with 70%fan in...

Still love my old and EOL E5200. I make 24hours a day for gaming, and it still alive. Right Im just using it for idle gaming like fishing or vending in-game. For main purpose Im using a 3 years old E8500. OCed only to 3,8Ghz for gaming purpose.

Im forget about that @_@ But dont know, since he says :

If you really a good cheap I think : COOLER MASTER Elite 430 RC-430-KWN1 for a $50 is enough. Or you want to all out ? Antec Dark Fleet DF-30 Black ATX Mid Tower for $100 or COOLER MASTER HAF 922 BLUE RC-922M-KWN2-GP Black for $100 But its a mid tower case...

Im just a 1 day user here, and I love this forum. Guys here know how to respect people. I was trying to make a thread with title "free pc build consultant" at other forum like legit or techreport. And guess what, I got an IP banned. Then again, thank you for let me in.

Im a little confusing here, is it really a $800 PC needed ? Because with this build : G.SKILL ripjaws series 4GB (2x2GB) PC10666 at $70 Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB for $88 MSI 460GTX cyclone 768MB for $165 COOLER MASTER 460W for $30 BIOSTAR A880G+ AM3 for $58 AMD Phenom II X4 810 AM3...
