Don't even bother reading newegg reviews, for the most part if it shows up it gets 4 stars http://xkcd.com/937/ A little bit of lols Personally I like the antec 300, although I have never really given anything else a try | ||

Regardless, I think people just use a single radiator unless it's some really exotic setup. Some don't hook up the GPU to the block, or maybe only use the loop for GPUs? Uh, why don't you just take a look at build logs and pictures? Imo the point is to get best cooling possible and there usually is just one way to get the maximum performance. Seems like my idea is pretty decent from what I've read. Btw I'd just get 6770 for the same price before MIR and like 10$ less AMIR as it's like, a ton better. Well imo the best value for a budget case atm would probably be haf 912 for 60$ on newegg | ||

As I've said multiple times before, after changing from 9800gt to 560ti, my fps seems to have lowered when engaging in intense action. [ only in tf2, everyother game, I've gained TREMENDOUS fps and can play on higher graphics ] Before the graphics card upgrade, I experienced no fps dips at all. I constantly stayed up 85+fps, at lowest probably 75fps. But after changing to 560ti, thigns have gotten worse, My fps drops down to as low as 30... Which reminds me of my old days with amd x2 4400. I have i3-2100 and been running this game like butter when I had 9800gt. Just to note, I run MW2, BF3, all over 90fps. It's not a faulty gpu or cpu. Whats the problem? if you were experiencing this problem in tf2, what would you do ? Let me know what you would try and if you pin point the problem, I'm willing to pay $15 on paypal P.S - I have 550watt Neon HE. One thing that I can think of is my cpu not getting enough power? 560ti takes 2 cables while 9800gt only needed one. Noting that TF2 is cpu intensive game, and whenever my fps dips in intense action, could that be it? I remember somewhere my PSU was more than enough to run this setup | ||

Can I have 15 bucks now? Doesn't make sense. Yes I agree tf2 is terribly optimized game, but that does not explain why 560Ti performs worse than my old 9800gt. If anything, my 560ti should perform "better" than 9800gt in this "TERRIBLY" optimized game. @Dannnnn_The_Man yes I do have the latest driver. This only happens in TF2... I get no dips whatsoever in MW2. which is normally 45+ players. TF2 is only 32 man. | ||

I tried to edit my post earlier but my net went down. BEST place to look is steam community forums for a fix. That game is absolutely plagued with problems, TL forums are FILLED with users complaining about TF2. | ||

Some of the Dells use proprietary connectors, so you may need a new power supply as well. Do i need to change anything off of what skyr said Just get a G620 (~$70), 4gb DDR3 (~$24), a H61 motherboard (~$55), and some low-end GPU (or you can us the on-board until you can afford a 5770 or a better GPU). if i did have an IDE optical (which i do) | ||
