I know, that's why I suggested you should have gotten one with GDDR5

That would surely costs more I was on a budget and had to cut down. I was going for a higher quad but I heard the q6600 were good overclockers and tbh I didnt need a higher cpu. I was original going for a Gainward card but none in stock and the Leadtek was the cheapest one after and it had holded up the order did teh Gainward.

The graphics handles anything I through at it including GRID at full resolution and maximum details

Yeah it's a good chip, if you're gonna be pushing it then watch the temps carefully. I've got mine up to 3.4ghz, but after that it was getting a bit dicey.

Thats not bad at 3.4 I got a good heatsink massive fan on it but runs slow at mo as I got the mobo on powersave @ 8.95watts

Case is really nice, and very quiet you can hardly hear a wisper, the dvd is the nosiest part of system

It is a nice case, nice and roomy to work in and it's good for getting the air flowing around the bits that matter.

This would be an ideal gaming pc, with top end components, without throwing money away.

Hello are Dell Quadcore Pcs Worth it and how may I find out what components they have used brand wise?

What about Aldi AMD Quadcore equivalent

Pc Worlds Packard Bell Quad?


Ireland is a real rip off they are puting up electricity charges by another 5% 2nd increase in 1 year even though petrol costs are coming down.
