Pretty nice build, I would have gotten a more power PSU personally, that 400 watt is cuttin it Really close for a 6850 and overclocked Tricore setup.
And I agree with you, the GTX 460 is would be an upgrade from a 4870, not a GTX 260 lol
But yea, I'd make a more powerful PSU because you always want some head room, whether to upgrade, for future proofing, or just downright stability. I only run a single GTX 460 and 2600k, but i over killed with a Corsair HX750 PSU.
@thelegendbullet937 nice to know. I'll probably upgrade the cpu before I upgrade my cpu. It is a good 400 watt though. It's getting up there in age. Now the PSU is over a year old.
hey man how many fps u get in left 4 dead 2, and battlefield bad company 2? i have the same GPU, but i have an intel dual core e5200, and i have a very bad ass bottleneck, u think i will have a bottleneck whit that X3?
@DITOXI You're suffering from your CPU bad, but, it shouldn't be that wicked.. I'd upgrade to a Sandy Bridge i5 for pretty cheap, thats the fastest you can get for games at the moment.
@DITOXI Bro, you don't even know Shitty FPS Man - LOL, I've got a E7650 w/ 1GB And a Geforce GTS 250 512MB and I LAGG. I'm actually thinking about buying this thing @ compusa tomorrow, because I'm going to chuck bottleneck out the fucking door. The lowest FPS I've seen on BFBC2 Is 28, And believe me, my system Runs COD 4 Maxed @ 91 FPS Constant w/o Yitch3.cfg. I would get somewhere in the 140's w/ Yitch3's config. I, think you should get this, as so should I. It's good for the price.
@DITOXI Mine is an Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 (4M L3, 1333Mhz FSB, 2.66Ghz Stock) w/ 1GB OCZ Reaper DDR2 800 RAM, And an XFX Geforce GTS 250 512MB. Two totally diff. systems. I really wish I could get an AMD Processor that isn't a single core used from Craiggy's list (Craigslist actual) And upgrade to at least a Quad-core CPU. Most likely I'll have to stick to Intel, since now-adays you find better stuff for Intel Sockets. Gonna Upgrade to a Q6600, since my 650i Ultra Board supports it.
@Wiifan4life LOL... That was a month ago - I got a X2 550 BE @ 4Ghz w/ a H50 @ 1.55000 V's, 4GB's RAM, And a HD 4870 1GB. But, I think I still need to get some better OC's for BF:BC2. And, I totally need to trade my HD 4870 1GB for a GTX 260..
@Wiifan4life Well, By like 2GB's Per second and I can Overclock the GTX 260 Much farther than a HD 4870 on a stock cooler. And, I think it doesn't require as much power as a HD 4870 1GB.
@SmexxiWaffles trust me, it's not worth it. Look at 4870 reviews and you'll see that it's not worth it. In many instances your 4870 is actually faster than a 260. If you're going to upgrade, do one that's worth the while. Like to a 460 or something.

the 6850 is actually better than the gtx 460 1gb but just by a lil bit

I see, much better than your old PC! Great fan controller - I had that one as well - though I prefer the Sentry on the top :D

can you crossfire another 6850 on this motherboard?
KANTARELIS15 1 year ago
@KANTARELIS15 yeah. it's only x16/x4 though. it's a really good deal because the mobo's only $60.
Wiifan4life 1 year ago
@Wiifan4life woh, a 60 dollar mobo haha - good call staying away from the GTX series w/your PSU

@SmexxiWaffles do u mean a 460? the 260 is just about as powerful as your 4870.
