Congrats, the HD 4870 1GB's a brilliant graphics card! Although if I may ask, why the E8600?

 

[Lynx]

1. Exchange for old parts, 2. great overclocker, 3. high fsb, 4. high fsb = great gaming, my mobo + e8600 holds world record for highest fsb

Need any more?

Fair enough. I just would've figured that you would get an E8400/E8500 if you were happy to strike high FSB's over the use of a high CPU Multi and save a considerable amount of money.

Considering im getting it on a good deal that suits both the buyer and seller?

 

[Lynx]

Just had a closer look at the design..

ITS EPIC.

Stock cooler = not cool...

 

[Lynx]

Stock coole = referencee design = watercooling oportunities.

[sammytomjohn]

[stockholm1984]

Which of the many 275 did you go for the end Lynx?

 

[Lynx]

Havnt yet, just got home from rockness and having second thoughts, might for for 4890 black edition with 1ghz core @ £160

 

[stockholm1984]

Where've you seen one for £160?! Wish you'd hurry up and decide, I'm relying on you to make the choice for me. Am still debating whether to go for 275 or 4890, 275 seems a bit quicker but more expensive and if ever decide I want to run multiple GPUs, I can only run crossfire. 1GHz 4890 for £160 too seems an awesome deal.
