Aside from changing alot of the components im gonna use, i think, unless i happen to come across a gtx 295 for free, im gonna build pc and just use an old hd 2600xt gpu card i got as there are alot of reports suggesting that dx11 cards from both nvidia and ati will bwe out by the end of the year. This should bring 295 prices down and there will be newer better cards out so i think ill wait for one of them lol Smile

.

New details of system are :-
Coolermaster HAF 932
I7 920
NorthQ 850w Blk Magic Flex
2x 500gb Seagate 7200.12 (RAID0)
6gb DDR3 1333/1600 RAM
Gigabyte UD4P Mobo
Windows 7 RC
And the best gpu i can get hold of for nothing basically lol.

Hopefuly get this soon Smile

. But dont know when lol.

Any comments??

I wish I could hold myself till DX11 will be out, but I just don't have the patience and already planning on upgrading my old 8800GTX to a new GTX285 in a month or so... Rolling Eyes

Im not entirely sure if ive got the patience either lmao, especially since nvidia are bringing out a single pcb 295 that should be cheaper lol :s, have to see how muhc cheaper it might be lol.

Itll be almost identicle to the dual pcb 295 except itll have a dual chip on a single board and a slightly higher memory clock of 1100 compared to 1000.

Admittidley though all ive read says it supposed to be out by the end of may and we are into june so not entirely sure with it lol. If its true itll be so much easier to water cool and slightly cheaper id hope cos of production costs lol Smile

I dont mind about the performance but i think the proce will come down abit more with manufacturing processes if im able to wait a bit. Plus may just wait till Dx 11 near the end 9of the year with 5xxx ATI cards and GTX 3xx nvidia cards early next year for windows 7 lol Smile

. Have to wait and see though, depends how i feel when i find some cash :s

Lol, fair enough, im contemplating it still. Knowing my luck it will be around that time beore i can buy anything as no one will employ me at the minute lol. And being a student doesnt really make you you highest choice for work Sad

. Have to see. Need a new setup soon though as my current keeps breaking lol :s. Quite like the look of the single pcb 295 though, just depends on if it gets it to the top ati card price range.
