I like the case. That's probably the only Thermaltake product that I'm even remotely interested in. Those Level 10's are hella expensive.

Not bad spec wise. Not too sure on the PSU though.

Probly a stupid question but what difference will it make if i move it up there ?

The slot you installed the graphics card in is only wired for a 4x connection. Your graphics card is designed to use a full x16 connection. The top slot is wired for x16 operation. It will provide more bandwidth for data to travel between your graphics card and the rest of your system.

It's likely that you wouldn't see a big difference installing it in the top slot in most scenarios. However some games would certainly see a boost in performance from the added bandwidth. TechPowerUp did a review on it a while back and found that an slot wired at x4 will perform almost as well as a slot wired at the full x16. There are games that are affected heavily by it though.

Here's the results page of their review broken down by screen resolution: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/HD_5870_PCI-Express_Scaling/25.html

Averaged across all the games they tested they found that x4 performed at 96% of x16 at 1920x1200 resolution. Call of Duty and a few other games saw big performance hits from the x4 connection acting as a bottleneck.

Do you NEED to install the card in the top slot? No.

Will you see vastly improved performance in your games? Probably not.

Should you install the card in the top slot because it's designed to go there? I would say yes.

All things considered it's not a big deal and won't affect performance much. However it is a good practice to make sure things are plugged in and set up to get you the most performance from the start. If plugging it into a different slot will get you an extra 2-5 frames per second for free I don't see why you wouldn't put it there.

wtf is lolcats?

I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers.

I was hoping for 150 :(.

I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt
