Sny ideas people ?

 

[iceclock]

i wouldnt advise such a thing. that seems to be a very generic and bad quality power supply, whats ur budget for a new powersupply, if u tell i can recommand u a nice one that would power the 7950

 

[samuelspark]

Yea. Looks extremely generic. You definitely need to replace it to use it with your 7950.

[iceclock]

but ok

http://www.waeplus.co.uk/product/1976136/AKASA-Akasa-Venom-Power---Power-Supply-%28

i can afford this : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3GB-XFX-Radeon-HD-7970-Black-with-Ghost-Hydrocell-5700MHz-GDDR5-1000MHz-204-/360536788386?pt=UK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item53f1aacda2

I can afford to buy a PSU aswell. But im worried with the current case i have right now it wont fit. as i dont have enough money then to buy a case.

If this helps you all i want it for is battlefeild and neally all games to run SMOOTH ( 60+ fraps )

i looked it up and the pixel rate is lower ?

Also will that card play battlefeild ULTRA 60+ Fraps ?

 

[iceclock]

that doesnt mean anything look:

http://www.hardocp.com/article/2012/08/27/nvidia_geforce_gtx_660_ti_at_high_aa_settings_review/8

overall when overclocked the 660gtx ti is faster than the 7950 its not always about specs, it counts but not every one of em.

and yes should run 60fps but depends also what resolution on ultra ud need a stronger card for 1080p

Im using 1920 x 1080

So that GTX 660 will do me verry good ? Almost most games running max ?

 

[iceclock]

yes, theres virtually no difference between the two and when overclocked the 660 ti beats the 7950

and yes thats the best u can do with ur current budget, id say go for it with that good ps i recommanded

Nice so im going to go buy in 2 mins this

Case : NZXT Phantom 410 ( unless you can reccomend a better one with same amout of fan slots )
GPU : The one you told me 660
FAN : coolmaster BC 140mm x1
FAN : coolmaster sickleFlow 120mm x2
PSU : XFX Pro 650W Power Supply

Sounds good ?

 

[iceclock]

sounds very good, the phantom 410 is beautiful case and has good cooling

 

[TheGamblerUK]

So has the 660i got a boost option. Or is it all manually overclocking ?

Because i need BIG help doing that & my CPU.

 

[iceclock]

[samuelspark]

Where did you find the 660 Ti beats the 7950. The 7950 beats it every possible way. The 660 Ti is between the 7870 and 7950

 

[iceclock]

lol, with the new drivers the ti is faster than the 7950 and when overclock gives it quite a nice advance mate

ur thinking of before they fixed the new nvidia drivers now its game-on time

AMD updated drivers as well, The 7950 also can overclock and is not limited by the 192bit bus and that helps it with AA tasks. Not to mention the 7950 is slightly more expensive than the 660 ti because of its slightly better performance.

Wait wich 7950 would you reccomend under 240 pounds for me ?

 

[iceclock]

yo the gambler stick to what we talked, also the vapor-x u had for that 223 pounds is great its got great cooling and overclocking capabilities, go with that or the gtx 660ti i offered,
