That being the case, if the computer is staying cool enough with the stock cooler, I'll be keeping it as is for a few months. Down the road, however? Yea, its very likely that I will overclock things to get a little extra speed out of it, and I'll probably be spending a few bucks on better cooling. |
Yeah thats a good strategy.
Out of curiosity, are you able to exchange some of these parts? Like if you bought at TigerDirect, do you have a store near by?
Reason I ask is that power supply... $110 is a lot of money for a 650W PSU, no matter who the maker is. You should be able to pick up a 750 W PSU that has 4 PCIe connectors. This will help if you want to go crossfire with 2 7870s down the road.
When 7870s are 100 bucks on ebay, you can pick 1 up and double your graphics performance since your motherboard supports crossfire. But that PSU doesn't...
