Nope, Its not gonna go up on there till the 880 is released. If youre willing to hold on If dinky doesnt want it then you can have it.

Part of me wants to hold off for n building until the GTX 870 is out but I'm not hearing anything about price, no point if I can't afford it anyway haha. Might wait if it uses less power than the 770 tho

None atm. Sold the whole thing to a friend a few weeks ago, couldn't bear the effort of selling individual parts. Plus noone on here would have wanted an AM3 mobo + 1055T. I had a HD 7850 tho
 
well I think Rcoon has a an FX8350 somewhere that hes not using that he could be talked into getting rid of. :p

Nah mate building an Intel build this time :D still trying to pick between two motherboards and which ssd but I'm almost done planning lol
 
well its a way to save a little cash. There shouldnt be too much difference when it comes to gaming... Thats if you still game.


As for this Jamesons Irish Whisky - I still prefer a 10y Taliska or a laphroaig but they are both a lot more expensive than the Jamesons
 
lol this is page 680...... its a sign!

Just saw the Antec Earthwatts 80Plus Platinum 650W is only £85 on amazon. Modular doesn't bother me, I use every cable on my modular PSU at the moment anyway, so I wouldn't benefit.

Hah! Four sister's and a brother :D among other things I won't say as he won't want me to, but one of many things, including picking up and dropping a snooker table upon an unruly man's head.

About damn time too!

Birthday tomorrow, heading down to Bonsai Fish and Noodle bar in Nottingham, would have invited a few of you, but I assume it's probably not viable for travelling costs for a mere few hours in the evening, just to go home again.
 
I hope they arent scamming me because i got another customers proc. We shall see! Wooooooop

Negative on that one TattyLeader.

Id say it was a case of bad shoes that exacerbate my flatfoot condition. Gonna send my sick note off... hopefully i still get free monies.
 
I got some money coming in after selling a load of stuff on Ebay - Is it still worth picking up a 780Ti or should i honestly wait? :p my hands are itchin I need to spend money..... Cuz if i dont buy a PC related thing then im gonna buy this here watch...

Though £500 for a GPU kinda disgusts me....
 
I'd wait. Following the formula (I could be wrong), but every x80 part becomes the equivalent of next gens x70 part. While I know it won't be the same chip in the 870, it will probably perform around the same as the 780, and the 880 will no doubt out perform it, and at least be on par with the 780ti. Let's just hope NVidia don't decide to be their usual selves and release the 880 at a £600 price point.

EDIT: Just bought a Seasonic Platinum 660W as a gift to myself, hurrah. Now I pray that my car doesn't cost too much to repair...

What did you do to your car?

Nothing, I think part of the exhaust was rusty and eventually gave way. Basically there's a hole in it somewhere, and its making noise like a tank, needless to say it's affecting the cars performance and not catalysing fumes properly. I've got enough spare cash to repair it and buy my prized PSU and still have money leftover for some frivolous food buying and what not, but with Haswell E out at the end of this month I was hoping to buy the 5820K and an mATX board. May have to wait another month.
