Hi Guys im on the last step of buying my bits for my system hopefully tomorrow only the graphics card and cooler remain. Just for reference il give you a low down of what i have already but theres more to be added later:-
I currently have :-
Corsair 600T Black (Got this on offer or i would have got the white one)
Corsair TX750W (part of the above promotion)
Asus P8Z68 Deluxe Gen 3
Intel Core i7 2700K
Corsair Vengance Blue 8Gb (Adding another 8 gb later)
Samsung spinpoint f3 1tb (adding another 1 or 2 more plus 1 ssd)
LG Suprer Blue 10x Bluray Writer
I have decided to get the Corsair H100 cooler
I need advice however on which graphics card to get.I was firsly consdering wether to go for ATI or Nvidia but what i have read and heard alot of the games are designed over Nvidia chipset by developers. I was intially going to go for th gtx 570 however considering the PSU wattage i have to play with and the plans i have to expand the system later on the 560ti seem to be better candiates. My aim is play all games on 1920x1200 on max settings.
Now the there two grahics cards i have in mind its either the MSI 560 Ti Twin Fozr ii 2gb or MSI 560Ti 448 1.2gb. Obviously the second one is slightly more expensive that than the 2gb one and has more updated cooler and more cores. My question is which one would better for the purpose i need it for i would assume the second one is closer to the 570 and therfore it power usage wil be higher which may cause some problems for me lateron. I read else where that having higher ram is better . My aim later on would be to add another card in SLI but not for a while . Any advice would be welcomed
