I wouldnt worry about a second video card either. Not to many games lately support SLI. You might want to consider an evga card and water cool that too. Then OC the shit out of it. Use evga precision software to monitor card temps. Its going to give blazing FPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

It's the heart of my system and I run it at 4.8ghz and can keep it cool with my High Airflow system. Next time don't be too scared to build the system yourself. I had a Cyberpower system a few years back and I had to fix a few things when it arrived because they throw them together really fast. Can't wait to see you in game!

Ya Goliath I wanted to build it myself, but after reading all the horror stories of people who get DOA motherboards and CPU's with bent pins and just not getting their system to work without having to take it to someone it scared me from wanting to experiance that... Would rather have it tested and working when i get it... What did you have to fix by the way?? Eidolon i have a amd rig now, so I am wanting to try an intel rig... I had a nice rig built amd that i wanted to get and it was going to cost about 2000... So for same amount of money I can get intel... The other 300 includes the taxes, new keyboard and mouse.. Wildbill, this case doesnt come with the HDD on top... But im definitly going to be doing some disco dancing when i get it!!! LOL.. Gives me wood too Harry... hehaha Exe, the reason for the 1000 watt power (as it only requires a 500 watt) supply is because I am going to be getting a 2nd 7970 to go in there.... One is great im sure I will love it, but I have never had a dual card setup so I am looking forward to that!! Thanks Skunk, Trat, Deerhunter....!!!

Most likely damage in shipping. Tomorrow is case cleaning day. I am not making any adjustments and I am going to see if my temps go down. Having a clean case is important. Nice rig Sue!
