Where shuld I buy my new PC from?

Looking at that case with the PSU reminds me of a conversation I had with an ex-boss. We used to supply CAD workstations that were built in the USA and the quality was dismal. Quite often they would turn up missing screws, in this case there was only one screw holding the PSU in place. My boss didn't appear bothered until I told him that it was 'one screw keeping the big, cheap heavy thing suspended above the small expensive things.'

^^ lol not good

my psu dosent need screws but i still use them just dont fancy £500+ of hardware been crushed lol

ps my case never used to look like that (giggabyt aroura 3d 570)

befor

after



if you want some advice on building a pc ure self visit hear all the info you need (www.guru3d.com)

Ah, though you say big heavy cheap thing, both my PSU's were pretty expensive. I got a Coolerpower true power 850W in one and a 1000W version in the other ha ha. Shouldn't have to upgrade either of those for a fair while... I hope!!! heh.

^^^ lol yup mines a 750w and was £75 (i am 17 and dont have any money..) but some of my mates have 1.5kw psus with tri sli 285's with a i7 975 lolll ovver killlll

Jesus, that is silly. If there is one thing I have learnt about using 2 3870's in Crossfire its that its a waste of time. The small (even if its big!) gain isnt worth the messing about or the money. Simply buy one single core one, so much easier and a 260 216+ card will play everything at decent FPS. Just overkill.

But if they want to "waste" their money then fair enough I guess.

Just buy a GTX295 and be done with it. Both Crossfire and SLI are hardly worth the extra wonga for the little if not any benefit over a single GPU . Some games like Crysis perform worse in the FPS battle with dual and triple GPU setups.

Exactly. And its not like in the games that do benefit they are going from unplayable to playable...

Ah, all this talk reminds me of the (apparently now defunct) website pimprig.com because 'chicks dig a guy with a pimped out rig' ahem.
