Well, he didn't say it's AMD, I totally mistaken it with a Geforce 7950. My bad.

Oh, come on guys. First thing. Don't buy Asrock and Seagate, they are both crap. For a motherboard pick from Asus and Gigabyte. HDD: I prefer Samsung but Western Digital is also quite good(be sure to pick a Black version). As far as gaming goes. Tell us at what resolution you are going to play...

Are you sure this is a brand new card? It's pretty old. Anyway, the first thing you should do is replace your thermal compound. After so many years it surely has lost it's properties. I think it can drop your temps by 10degrees or even more, we don't know how bad it is.

I've come up with something like this: HDD: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Caviar-Black-7200-Internal-Drive/dp/B0036Q7MV0/ref=sr_1_8?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1362837602&sr=1-8 SSD: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Series-120GB-Solid-State/dp/B009LI7C5I/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1362837639&sr=1-2...

Don't buy a heatsink for that cpu. Total waste of money, you won't OC it while stock is enough. Also I don't think you need 8GB of ram, I myself have 4GB and when I put 4 more I don't see any difference in games, apps, benchmarks, but of course it's better to have more. I'd buy 8 anyway. I don't...

If you have a good psu, like omgitsfatal said, you could even run two 6950 in crossfire.

Yes! I want 60mm fan with rubber screws to improve noise level! Isn't it what everybody want? How could I want my fan to be more quiet when I can use rubber screws and make it sound like hoover!

Thermalright Archon. With i7 2600k 4.8-5GHz with ease at operational temps.

You won't. If you're planning on grabbing a descrete card, pick i3, if you want to use the integrated one, pick AMD it will be much better for games.

Come on, all 6950 can be unlocked. They just do not have double bioses and that 'magic' switch. And you no longer do this by flashing 6970 bios but by modifying your own 6950 bios and unlocking shaders. Whatever you pick, it will be fine. Just pick one with good cooling, cheap and from good...

If you don't want to buy a new mobo, ram then go for Q9450 or one from these series. Look on ebay and other sites with used products. You might fine a cheap one and OC it.

You might try, but the change won't be visible, maybe minimum framerate will be increased, that would be noticeable. And btw. I got his 6950 2gb iceq either and it's absolutely possible to unlock shaders, you just need to modify your own bios.

Mobos with updated bios usually are shipped before being given to public. I got my mobo with a bios that was released to the public a month later.

Well, it's not gtx580 that's making it, thats for sure. http://pclab.pl/art47038-4.html http://pclab.pl/art47038-5.html http://pclab.pl/art47038-10.html Here are tests done with 6970. Must be the damn Asus board. Even though I own i7 2600k (switched from pII 1090t only because I got intels rig...

It's not a good idea. It should be done once a week or so. Every single time you start your pc, your gpu fan is going to be running 100%?! It's going to be the nosiest pc start ever! Anyway, if you're not dumb you clean your pc at least twice a year and you're free of dust.
