$600 for GTX280
$1000 for 980X
$200 for new PSU

People haven't been this exited about boxes, since the 'Best looking PC in a box challenge' thread

But sort of feels like a long awaited Christmas, seeing those, even though I'm not getting one.

Potentially fuel for fire here, but I handled a 480 today, how ever the damn thing was all set up in a open panel rig but the rig had no monitor connected!

The gpu was running how ever as their was temperature information on the frontpanel.





By the way, you can look forward to stock cooling with watercooling built in chaps ( not necessarily all stock coolers but some)



*edit*

God who ever giggled at flaps on the last page then said "someone say gammon" Gammon flaps bring up even more horrific images then the usual wording for that phrase in my mind!
You've ruined me sir RUINED ME!

I think the GTX280 has a six-pin and 8-pin too.

OH HI I'M JOINING THE TROLLING A GUY I THINK IS A TROLL BAND WAGON!


But in all seriousness U2K from what he started with has gone through HUGE upgrades, it would not surprise me if he started using cards that require power connectors sometime within the next year at his current rate of upgrading.


Leave the guy alone seriously, as I pointed out you guys are trolling him.

And trolling is bad, we're not on /b and someone's just asked for advise after all.

Your teacher has been teaching you the incorrect spelling then if they are supposed to be teaching British English.

Call them on it

Well I don't recall when they said it's strictly british , but one time I heard her , the school system is meant to be teaching the british version , but she said , it does not matter when you write tests and esays she will regard it as correct either ways.

Oh so she's just a teacher with poor standards

If British English is what your supposed to be learning then its what she should be teaching!

lulz speeeling is for loozers newayz

In all seriousness though, there's not much to discuss in regards to this new story so I guess it was easy for the thread to get derailed.

The other day I mistakenly got everyone talking about the pronunciation of cache, that was on one of the 6core i7 discussion threads XD so could just be the natural progression of conversation happening here too : ]

After all whilst we're on a forum we're still humans so act like them XD heh.



Anyway!

Boxes are pretty arnt they, very shiny! That means the product inside is better!

Yeah she is , we had a better teacher 2 years ago , I think well change back to the previous one next year , she's a lot more strict and organized but actually teaches you 3 times as much.
