Single graphics card for gaming on 1080p highest settings

Hi

Sandy Bridge supports up to 2133MHz speeds so they will work, however you will have to do some tweaking to get them to work at their rated speed.

Good choice with the PSU, but you might be cutting it close if you run 2 580's in the future.

Thanks for letting me know. Then i might go for the Corsair AX1200 but then will this fit with the matx case's like Silverstone TJ08-E or Fractal Design Define Mini?

For 1920 x 1080 a 580 is more than capable of running all of the latest games.

EDIT: Have you considered the Gigabyte GTX 580 Super Overclocked Edition. It is an awesome card that comes factory overclocked and can be overclocked further with the awesome triple fan cooler. It will also be quieter than most/all of the other 580's out there.

The ax1200 is just 4 cm longer so I'm sure it will fit. The height and width is the same so I think it will fit.

Personally I would go for the Fractal design define mini. I love the simplistic look of the case and I also like that the interior is black

Thank you again for your reply. What do you think of the LIAN LI PC-A04B is this also a good case. Because i want some thing slick and sexy for a case and fits all the parts of a full atx case

That's a great case, but cable management will be a bit of a challenge. You'll also have to plan out video cards as well. From personal experience with this case, I'd definitely choose a modular PSU over one that isn't modular. It will make life easier. You may take a look at Tom's review and see how you like it. I'd still suggest the Fractal Desing Define Mini as it's, overall, much simpler to work with.

Yup, this is the card to get if you're looking for something powerful. I think it performs on par if not even better than some of the strong SLIs out there as well, so you're looking at a video card that can handle anything you throw at it. It's very quiet and will be kept cool so you won't have anything to worry about when it comes to GPU cooling.

Don't get me wrong, both cases are very good. It's just down to personal preference. If you like the look of the TJ-08, then by all means go for that.

Thanks again for your reply. the case looks really nice plus the silverstone TJ08-E is all back even in the inside of the case hear is the link http://www.scan.co.u...-usb-30-w-o-psu

Yup, it's a definite winner among the mATX cases. It still needs a bit of overall planning with this case being so compact. If you don't mind the Fractal Define Mini's extra bit of height, the design of the case is simplistic yet everything is layed out so well you don't have to worry much about space, hard drive mounting, or PSU lengths and cables. You can fit a GTX 590 in there without any problems or you can remove the top hard drive cage and get the full depth worth of space for a really long video card, such as the HD6990. As yassarikhan786 mentioned, it's a personal preference so whether you choose one over the other I'm sure you'll be very happy.

not trying to argue for what the 580 is capable of, 1920x1080 with 32xAA Ultra settings on todays games is very demanding, it'll squeeze the PC, consider Metro 2033 and Crysis, Crysis 2 and what's to come, Metro last light(watever it's called) all want 2 (at least) top of the range GPU's and some overclocking or there's gona be quite a stutter when they try to show you what the game engine can really do to impress, then throw some PhysX in and it's like pacman was more fun than this

sorry. +with SLI we can have 64xAA so I guess a 590'll do that. To get very good FPS is constant 60fps and 2 580's will make that and i bet there'll still be some parts where it'll drop though not easily noticable. nVidia reccommends SLI for the best and to get the advantages of Control Pannel, all running smoothly,.with 3D we might have a problem

Edit: 2 reference 580 running next door'll be OK running hotter than on a spacey motherboard and will have to be very careful with temps when OC'ing

Some games have some (slang) sickly nice enhancement for nVidia like Just Cause 2, they need the power of 2+ GPU's
 
Am just thinking should i go for the i5 2500k or the i7 2600k or the new i7 2700k for gaming and web browsing and watching 3d movies and non 3d movies as well and some work don't use any 3d max software or anything like that might try it down the road thanks
