Hey all I'm about to order parts for my new Haswell rig and I'm torn on which graphics option to go for a new Gtx 770 (£340) or a 7870 Tahiti crossfire (£340) setup to replace my old Gtx 570. I only use my pc for gaming and use 1920 x 1080 res and realistically want to have a setup that'll...

The time has come for me to finally give my old G35's the boot and upgrade to a decent headset and sound card combo. Headset wise I've gone with the Steelseries 7H, but I'm having difficulty picking a soundcard. I was going to go with the Xonar D2X at £80 (inc del) but then I saw the Xonar DX...

Words cannot describe my thoughts when I saw this the EVGA GTX 580 Classified. This thing must need some amount of juice, 2 x 8 pin and 1 x 6 pin I've changed my mind I don't want a 580 Lightning any more Please tell me your getting your hands on 1 of these Tom, if you haven't already...

I'm looking to change to a GTX 560Ti Sli setup, and I'm looking at the Asus Direct CU II Top and the MSI Hawk. I was originally just going to buy 2 Hawk's, but I don't know if they are worth the extra £20 per card over the Asus cards. Anyone got any hands on knowledge or advice?

Just checkin to see if anyone is getting Brink. Got mine pre-ordered from Amazon £27 delivered and you get the Psycho setup unlocked. Think it's a bit like TF2, but way btr and making parkour a major factor if you choose a lighter character.

I decided to take the plunge and buy this case because I was sick to death of my Haf X, having to take out the whole motherboard to get anywhere near the cpu cooler back plate because the cut out is far too small, and I could only do that once I'd won the battle to removed the motherboard from...

I'm looking into buying this monitor, and I'm wondering if anyone else has it or knows someone who has it to see what they think of it. I'm looking at it mainly because I would like the option of playing games in 3d should I want to and scan have it on deal of the day for £240 atm which seems...

Ok so I figured the other thread was getting a bit messy, so post your MP gamer tags here Icekube_UK

So all the current hype is all about the AMD 6990 and the upcomming Nvidia GTX 590. But I found this wee article about MSI's newest edition to their line up, the MSI GTX 580 Lightning which is using the Twin Frozr III cooler, and it's reported to be coming out anytime in the next few months...

Like the title says guys I'm just looking for your opinions/experiences on whether it's worth my while to change my setup. Atm I can get a pretty amazing deal from Aria and after selling my current parts it will only be costing my about £75 - £100 to make the switch, but I'm not sure if the...

I've preorder my Corsair 650D case and I'm going to take out the 2 x 200mm fans (front & top) and replace them with 4 x 120mm silent fans, and the rear 120mm. I know I should buy Noctua, but there is a cracking deal on Coolink SwiF2-1201 fans on Specialtech at £6 each, and I'm just wondering if...

Spotted this on my Asus ROG F'book feed Still think the R3E looks much better, but not quite sure what features it has yet

Was just having a look through the overclockers site to see if there was anything new for the gd old x58 1366 and came across these 3 boards, seems to be v.limited info on them besides a few short videos on y'tube from CES 2011. All I can say is OMG do I like what Gigabyte are doing these...

Battlefield 3 To say I'm excited that this is offical is a massive understatement :-D Bye bye COD for the next 2 years or so, if BF3 lives up to it's predecessor that is.

Ok 1st off I built my rig in October and I was waiting for the new 6900 amds to come out, so I bought a 1gb Evga 460 sc to fill the gap until some new gen' cards came out. But from all the recent results of the 500 series I'm going to stay with the green team, but this has left me a little...
