Just a kid at heart!!!

It doesn't matter what age you are just what age you feel.
Did you make a decision on what graphics card to go with?

[daylightdon]

You are so very RIGHT!!!
I think I'll go with the GIGABYTE ATI Radeon HD5830 1 GB DDR5
Amazon has it for $200.00
What do you think?

[Dark Mantis]

Personally I think that is an excellent choice, my friend! I am sure that in the long run you won't regret spending the extra money. I think that at the moment the ATI cards are better than the nVidia for the cash. You just seem to get more bang per buck.

Many thanks for your help and suggestions.

[Dark Mantis]

Your welcome and if you need any more advise when you get the parts you know where to come.

Is that: The Old Codgers Bide-A-Wee Rest Home, Ballspond Road, London by any chance?

Is that what you mean by Karma???

Karma? I think he needs a good SMITE!! Young whippersnapper.

No it's OK really. I've just been to the bathroom!

What is a "SMITE"?

[Dark Mantis]

Oh! I'm sorry dayllightdon, I thought you were joking when you asked about the Karma. If you look to the left underneath the person's avatar(picture) there are two buttons..one says "appluase" and the other "smite". If  you feel that someone has answered you well or been helpfull you can press the appluase button and it adds to the "Karma" total, if on the other hand you feel that they have been quite the opposite you can hit the "smite" button which removes one point. I hope that is clear now.

V8 is a nice cooler newegg has a good deal on that one or theirs the Hyper 212 Plus.

The GTX 460 is another card to look at its slower then a HD 5850 but faster than a HD 5750 and just a bit better then a HD 5830.

Hyper 212 Plus + Scythe GentleTyphoon 120mm 1450 RPM
Titan Fenrir + Scythe GentleTyphoon 120mm 1450 RPM (my setup)
Prolimatech Megahalems Rev B + Scythe GentleTyphoon 120mm 1450 RPM
