Neckbeard Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 If i left case out and reused my case I could go with this video care for the same price range. SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7950 --> http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814202006 question is is it worth the extra 100.00 to go from 7850 to 7950? Honestly, I will always stay away from older cases. I upgraded from a a stock case to a NZXT phantom, and my game play is better. I have a stock cpu cooler and it sits at 40c and my video card at 30c max. always upgrade your case if your buying expensive components Build log, Super slow!!: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/168096-slow-neckbeards-1970-opel-gt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotdog Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 and I am not necessarily die hard on ATI either so if there is a better price to performance Nvidia card I would try it.

Neckbeard Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I would go with the lowest cost i7 k chip and either get a bad ass air cooler (NHD14 or thermalright's silver arrow) or do some water cooling Build log, Super slow!!: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/168096-slow-neckbeards-1970-opel-gt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotdog Posted December 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 so if I eliminate the case for now and do that later I have two options it looks like. Get the I7 CPU and keep the Radeon 7850 GPU or Get the Radeon 7950 GPU and keep the I5 CPU Which one would you think would be the better swap?

Neckbeard Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 i7 and 7850 IMHO, but i would save up to get the case at the same time Build log, Super slow!!: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/168096-slow-neckbeards-1970-opel-gt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotdog Posted December 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 i7 and 7850 IMHO, but i would save up to get the case at the same time I was thinking the same thing Or I could just use my current Video card for another 1.5 Months and get the case and the I7. Get the Radeon 7950 or wait for the 8000 series to come out.

Hotdog Posted December 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Then maybe that is the plan wait on Video card. Get the case and the I7 total cost at $754.96 which is under my 800.00 limit for now. In two months I should be able to just get a lot better video card.
