I'm looking at a new build [3rd or so] and I've come back to the BF2s forums yet again because it's sort of my tech geek home. So hi, I'm back again. Yay! BF3 after how many fraking years?
Anyway I'm looking at parts and seeing very comparable parts for $20-60 in price range with the more expensive only out striping the lower in one category another. The easiest one to see is in the GPU: I've narrowed it down to:
EVGA GTX 460 (fermi) OC: $180 [$150 after Rebate]
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6814130596
EVGA GTX 560 (fermi) stock: $202 {shipping) [$192 after rebate]
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6814130661
They are identical in stats except for Effective Memory Clock (560 is faster by 204).
I'm not a terribly good OC'er. I tried to OC my 2nd build after a year and a half and instead had to do my 3rd. So I would be leaving these as I got them more than likely. Is it worth spending the ~$20 to get a little faster clock speed?
[edit: Adding comparison page link. I hope it works.]
