Evga is a good manufacturer but sure Gigabyte isn't bad, it isn't bad at all.

MB X58/ICH10R S1366 ATX/GA-X58A-UD3R GIGA-BYTE instead of intel motherboard and this one is cheaper

Gigabyte mobos are great don't worry.

Definitely go for the GTX 460. I just looked on that site you linked and the price difference compared to the HD5770 is actually significantly lower than in the US.
EVGA is a good brand but there are a lot of other good ones as well. If you will trust Gigiabyte with the most complex and important component of your computer than why not with a video card? The Gigabyte card with dual fans is getting very good reviews. The only GTX 460s I would pick over that one is the MSI Cyclone or Asus DirectCU.

i know they are great


the gtx460 there was one gigabyte one whit one fan thats the one im getting i think if i dont find the evga one i wont get the 2 fan ones they are gonna be noisy and i dont like gpus whit 2 fans i like em like the radeon hd5970 whit one fan or the gtx260 whit one fan.

i only like the gigabyte motherboard which i saw i also like intel one but since u say its bad for overclocking i will get the gigabyte one.


about videocards power supplies etc i dont want to go for gigabyte.

The Gigabyte card with two fans is both quiet and very effective. There are reviews of these cards you know, you can look them up.

i dont like big fans if gigabyte made em whit small fans like the gtx260 would be good and i dont understand why all of the 400 series cards have big fans? like really low end cards like this 9800gt has a big fan...

Are you listening to urself?? 🙁

GF100 is a grill chip, temp goes as high as 90C. Imagine what will happen if you OC. GF104 aka GTX460 is a lot better than the grill GF100, but it still needs adequate cooling.

I think it is about time to recognize that your brand preferences, desire for backplates, triple channel ram, small fans, ect; basically all your preconceived notions about computer components are not based on any actual knowledge of what is best when trying to assemble the best computer you can for the money you have to spend. We really do know what we are talking about. When we say what card or cooler is a better choice or that having 6gb of triple channel ram isn't nearly as important as a better video card we aren't trying to trick you. To be fair you have come around on a few things after excessive discussion of the topics but if you could try to accept our advice at face value by understanding that it comes from experience you lack and research you haven't done it would be a much smoother process.

Oh? Is that so? The heatsinks have nothing to do with cooling? Please.......

Take a look at the HD5800 stock fans, and the 9800GTX/GTX+ stock....

i want like 65+ fps but the thing i said about 250 fps is only on CSS whitout Vsync everything maxed out just whitout Vsync so im hoping ill get 65+ fps maxed out css whit the radeon or the 260gtx or even more fps since 260gtx eats 9800gt like a piece of candy

One of the main functions of vsync is to cap the fps at the refresh rate of your monitor. So you most likely have a 60hz monitor therefore vsync wont allow your framerate to go any higher than that. It also has a really annoying input-lag effect which makes aiming in fps games a lot harder.


So no amount of upgrading will make your fps go higher than 60 if vsync is enabled... you just have to disable it.
