Building a gaming pc

[BubbaThing]

This is my first build and i was wondering if i could get some help. I decided on the haf 932 case, i7 950 and im not sure about getting a gtx 460. I really need help finding a motherboard, and the rest. My my budget is 1.5k including the monitor speaker mouse and keyboard. Pleease respond fast

 

[BubbaThing]

Do what ever you can to get the better graphics card.

Ill get the super overclocked gtx 560 because it is better in some cases then the gtx 570. A cpu lasts longer than Gpu when it comes to upgrading

 

[WR2]

overclocked gtx 560 < overclocked gtx 570

 

[BubbaThing]

overclocked gtx 560 < overclocked gtx 570

Ya but its kind of not worth the money its to much

 

[WR2]

GTX 570 & i5 2500K

 

[BubbaThing]

Sr26 do u agree

 

[Guest]

well yes get the better GPU and better get a good cooling system since the card is super hot when oced

Well like i said GTX 570 with a good cooling system = STABLE and reasonable temps

 

[WR2]

Sure... I was just giving an example of one. And showing how a good cooler on the GTX 560 Ti can help lower temps.

Is the Palit service reliable or brands like MSI and EVGA offer better service when issues occur or if we receive a compliant card

 

[WR2]

Pretty much every brand offers premium cooling options. Some are better than what Palit used in the Sonic.

 

[BubbaThing]

So the i7 isnt worth it. I kind of thought it was superior but whatever

 

[BubbaThing]

Also which case is better the haf 932 or 922
