i'll do that then :p but is there a difference between installing 32bit and 64, i pirated Win 7 32 on my laptop no problem, but is the installation process different for 64 bit in anyway ? or does 64bit only run on certain mobo's etc... this will be the 1st PC i've built so im a total n00b :derp:---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------What site did you buy your parts of ? if it doesn't ship to Ireland thats no big deal because i have a few relations living in the US and shipping the parts for a pc wouldn't cost them as much but shipping the actual pc would cost a small fortune, and what GPU did you find better the GTX 560 (was your a 560 Ti or just a 560 btw) or the Radeon 6950 thanks in advance

What site did you buy your parts of ? if it doesn't ship to Ireland thats no big deal because i have a few relations living in the US and shipping the parts for a pc wouldn't cost them as much but shipping the actual pc would cost a small fortune, and what GPU did you find better the GTX 560 (was your a 560 Ti or just a 560 btw) or the Radeon 6950 thanks in advance

I bought em off Newegg. In my experience, the 560 (non-ti) was pretty good with all games, and never had an issue, but the 6950 pretty much ensured that almost no game ran under 90FPS. If you are willing to spend a little extra on the 6950, it's just as quiet, the card stays cooler (37-41 degrees with no special cooling, which is AWESOME), and will give you a 20-50FPS boost on most games. If you don't find all that necessary, the GTX 560 is fine, and doesn't run much warmer thank the 6950 (40-45 degrees).

Would a EVGA GTX 550 ti 2GB GPU be better than the GTX 560 1GB ?

Almost pointless to have a 2GB 550Ti.

Ok, this is what I have so far for 623 EURO's, still need a PSU though, can you recommend one ?, what Watt i need etc CASE - Cooler Master Storm Scout - You must login or register to view this content.CPU - AMD Phenom II x4 980 Black Edition - You must login or register to view this content.Mobo - Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3, AMD 990X, AM3+, ATX - You must login or register to view this content.GPU - EVGA GTX 560 Ti 1GB - You must login or register to view this content.RAM - 8GB-Kit Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz CL9 - You must login or register to view this content.HDD - SEAGATE Barracuda Green 1TB 5900.3 SATA II - You must login or register to view this content.DISC DRIVE - LG GH24NS - You must login or register to view this content.

For a PSU - 850W Thermaltake. Better to have more power than less. With your case, I'd reccomend an Antec Three Hundred Illusion. Not sure if I reccomended it already but it's only 70$ US, and has AMAZING cooling. Seagate's are overpriced, go with a Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB, not much more than the case and uses a technology that runs it slower if unecessary, and as high as 10k RPM if necessary.

The site im buying off doesn't have that case , and would an 850W Really be necessary, i don't want a ridiculous power bill lol :p.

and i've changed now to this case : You must login or register to view this content. ? this better or worse
