Guest RET.CW2.POLLVX=US= Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 That seems a bit expensive for the items provided, Sergeant Major.

Guest RET.CW4.ThievingSix=US= Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Yeah but that package doesen't include a CPU cooler(other than the stock), a disk drive or an OS. And i need all of those things since the PC i have now is still running XP with dell's default cooler. Plus free shipping doesen't really apply for me because i live in Australia :D. Do you guys think an SSD's worth it, i do but im not sure if i should go 120GB or just go with 60GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PainKiller Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Why don't you just get a GTX 580 instead of a GTX 570? just a thought of mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys think an SSD's worth it, i do but im not sure if i should go 120GB or just go with 60GB. 60 GB goes quick when that is all you have (I know from experience). If you can afford it, I would go with the larger drive for the "Oh, it might be nice to install this on the that drive". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can afford it, I would go with the larger drive for the "Oh, it might be nice to install this on the that drive". Unfortunately the epic storage cube has a passive heatsink, no graphics card or disk drive and is running ubuntu :D. It doesen't meet BF3's requirements :D. The reason i went with the 570 was because it was much cheaper. The GTX 570 is $320 while the GTX 580 is around the $480 mark. Can the 5-10% increase in FPS be justified?. I don't think its worth paying the extra $160 for a couple of FPS here and there when i can easily over-clock the 570 and get competitive FPS, not that the difference is noticeable at anything above 35 FPS. Even if i were to run the card overclocked to the max for 2 years i'd just replace it 2 or so years and heat wear a major issue. http://www.hardwareheaven.com/reviews/1080/pg15/inno3d-nvidia-geforce-gtx-570-review-gtx-570-vs-gtx-580-and-gtx-480.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
