I'm stuck on choosing a graphic card. MSI's Frozr II series, most of em are overclocked GPUs and I don't really wish to overclock it. Any advice? Or should I quit bitching about it? xD

I would go with the second option.

To be honest, even if you get a Twin Frozr, and it is already OC, you have the factory warranty. There is nothing to worry about there

My friend's dad built his computer a long time ago. They still use it to this day and he's using a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 to run their games. This thing runs SWTOR like its nothing. Anyway to shed light on this? I don't wanna get the GTX 560 Ti if its not much better than other available options.

Alright, so.. I'll be finally buying all of these parts in 2 weeks (next paycheck), and with what I've gathered this is what I've chosen.
I THINK the graphic card isn't compatible with the Motherboard, correct me if I'm wrong. I can't find any PCI Express 2.1 slots in details of the product. But guess I thought it be worth a shot to future proof me for other games.

Drop Windows 7 Ultimate and get Home Premium since 99.99% of people don't use the extra 4 features it comes with. Take that money and get a 7970 when it releases in a few weeks. Even if you -want- those features for some silly reason, all but the RAM ceiling can be had with free open-source programs. Originally Posted by Methanol7h
