My new 7770 - Thank you to OC3D

I was lucky enough to win the MSI 7770 that OC3D was giving away there just before the new year and rather than being one of those people that wins something and you never hear from again I thought I'd pop by to express my thanks to Tom and OC3D for the competition.

It's a really nice looking card in the flesh, blue and black work quite well. Can't wait to get it fired up and get some gaming done on it. If it's half as cool and quiet as my 7850 TF3 from MSI I'll be delighted.

Some pics of the card below :)

Going to look about getting a build sorted today for it, likely just get something similar to what I posted in this thread. For anyone wondering this was the build that I chose in the thread and I'll likely end up with something similar to this as I'd been planning to build myself a budget rig to keep at uni for gaming and now that I've got this 7770 the wheels are in motion. I've been toying around with this rig (and yes I know it seems odd getting a Z75 board with a Pentium but for the sake of £15 it at least gives me the option to upgrade to something like a 3570K down the line if I get a good deal) as I've already got RAM and an HDD sorted, but I'll have to see what happens :)

Again, thanks ever so much Tom and OC3D!
 
i am very eager to see the beaut in your rig :D

keep us updated

Shall do! Not sure what to do with the CPU yet, part of me keeps getting tempted to go AMD with something like the Athlon X4 750K (which appears to just be the A10 5800K sans the GPU) and overclock the nuts off it, or paying a bit more and just get an i3 3220.

Or I could just stick with the Pentium, all I'll really be doing on it is gaming and it'll probably more than suffice.

Congrats on winning Kharma :)

Thanks :)
 
congrats on your win and the card looks so smexy i done a lonely island boy and you know the rest lolz
 
Gratz on the win :)

You were one of the few that actually got that the 7770 is an entry gamer, and that the jury would look to see that the other parts in the build maybe also should reflect that.

looking nice i have the asus one and dam the 7770 is good for the money had no problems with any game.

PS: that heat sink looks a lot like the one on a Intel stock cooler?
