So Ted, It looks as though you're set. But I would still just wait until the 4 Series comes out.

I guess, as Sup. said you probably won't use all the features of the P35.FatherTed wrote:

Oh, and i could drop the mobo to the P31?

Oh thats ok, i shouldnt be getting this money any later than the 18th, all this hinges on school keeping to thier word ha!Gooners wrote:

That is up to you. It will save you money though.
And the wait... Not sure, but will be shortly after June 23rd when NV release their new card. I think, correct me If I'm wrong
Good, then the wait is on.FatherTed wrote:

I go for the second option if i drop the mobo to the P31 and wait for the 4*** cards to come outGooners wrote:

I'm sorry, but there is. At the bottom end of the market. The most accurate 'measure' of the raw grunt performance of a cpu (which is the primary factor in the 'feel' of using that PC) is the per-core clock speed. A notional 2.0GHz Quad will feel slower than 3.0GHz Single.jaymz9350 wrote:

So where's the best place (UK based) to buy all this stuff?
I'm sorry but clock speed between different generations (or manufacturers) of cpu's doesn't mean shit. A 2.0 ghz C2D of C2Q would be and feel faster than an old P4. The C2 series dose more per clock cycle therefore even a cpu with a slower clock would actually be faster.Scorpion0x17 wrote:

Well, we're arguing over a subjective - in my experience I can tell the difference, from the responsiveness of windows/games/etc, between a 2Ghz core clock and a 3GHz one, irrespective of cpu generation.jaymz9350 wrote:

Holy fuck that looks tasty.
I see nothing wrong. That looks kick ass for £278.84FatherTed wrote:

The PSU is a beaut, kyle recommended the 600W version to me and it's amazingly powerful yet quiet.Scorpion0x17 wrote:

CPU speed is only slightly slower than what you're replacing - you may notice that, or you may not.
Everything else looks good. Maybe not 'preferred' manufactures, imo, on the PSU and GPU, but the specs are all good for that price.
