discussion Build 2

[MonsterSound]

The XFX 5870 HD-587X-ZNFC is $409.99 at Newegg.ca (looks like it has the better cooler than the XFX HD-587A-ZNF9 Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) $417.99)

^^Agreed.

I think you would be more than happy with your build as is. The only thing you may want to do is add an SSD. Other than that it is a pretty sweet no budget build. There are slightly better parts available, but your moving up the far side of an exponential curve at that point.

Cant get wrong with what you have there. Since you have a few k to burn, why not go xfire 5870 or a 5970 and do an eyefinity setup. The pc im building is working towards that but i cant do it all at once. Dont think you would be disappointed.

Last-minute suggestion:

Pretty much the best 5870 currently available is the MSI Lightning one. It's got an amazing cooler and OCs like crazy. Not sure if it's quite out, but I've seen reviews for it, so it will be very soon.

I'm gone agree. I own 4 GTX 260 MSI ( sold 2 ) with the similar Twin Frozr cooler. they are totally amazing. I don't read everything but they probably already factory OC ..
