@ joe
you dont need anything more than a gtx570 to run just about anything.
and dont pay more than $350 odd for one either
Whats your pc?
Re: Whats your pc?
It depends what resolution you're playing at, and how high of settings you want to use, but for most people the 570 is plenty.

Re: Whats your pc?
And you also want to have an SSD that supports "Trim" with Windows 7 right?

Do you have an "Asus" motherboard?

*CORRECTION*
Is you're motherboard a "Sandy Bridge" chipset motherboard (Z68 series motherboard)?

Re: Whats your pc?
Ok, the reason i asked is that, if you have an "Asus" Sandy Bridge chipset you have access to other features.
Anyways, Since you're Australian, by the looks of the website (http://www.techbuy.com.au) being an Australian website, presuming you're Australian, i would recommend (http://www.pccasegear.com), and here would be my recommendations for you Mikey.
OCZ Vertex 3 120GB (http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?mai ... s_id=17031)
Crucial M4 128GB (http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?mai ... s_id=17685)
I would chose the Crucial M4, as per reviews, they seem generally better. Although the one you've picked is perfectly fine, it has features you wouldn't even care about, nor understand. If you want a more reliable, faster SSD, i would recommend the Crucial M4 128GB. If you're not to concerned about the extra $40, go for it. If that's what's holding you back from buying the Crucial M4, go for the Corsair if you're low on money.

Re: Whats your pc?
Yeah i am! But woah, thank so much dude! You're great help.
I also have a few more questions about W7 and SSD.
I have an Antect Case, the SSD can plug in at the top there externally?
And, would i have to reinstall Windows onto the SSD or can you make it boot up onto the SSD with the BIOS when it's hooked up?

Re: Whats your pc?
No problems, and thank you, for keeping me entertained on a very average and boring night.
Now it depends on what you wish to do, Have Windows 7 as your main drive, by that i mean (having Windows loaded on it, and a few applications etc).
If you want, back up everything from your drive, i mean everything you want. Then, reimage your hard drive, by that i mean wiping windows off of it. Next, get your SSD, make sure you're normal hard drive is unplugged, then plug your SSD in, then install windows. Then once it's done, turn your computer off, and plug in your old hard drive. Then reboot, it should detect your hard drive, and SSD. Then go into the BIOS, and change the boot priority to your SSD, and from then on, it should boot onto the SSD. Then of coarse copy everything from your safe source back onto your Hardrive or SSD, and happy incredibly fast boot times and quick application launches!
Also, i forgot to mention, if it's got a place it can plug into the top, yes it will.
NOTE: Make sure, everytime you plug anything into you're computer, it's turned off. Trust me on that one!

Re: Whats your pc?
Not really sure what you're doing here but i do love that you are here.
As I said last night I went hunting again and didn't exactly have a price range in mind just parts and cut back from there. Main reason I am posting parts is I would like someone to give a quick review over my stuff to make sure there will be no problems between chipsets or sockets, no bottlenecking, or maybe you have a better idea for what I could use. I did a pretty thorough check when picking stuff out but it will be my first build so just want to be safe. My goal wasn't to go over $1300 and including shipping my total is $1295. I will be willing to go over that by a few dollars if you guys think it is worth getting that upgrade.
Case - NZXT Tempest 210 (Comes with 1x120mm(Rear) and 1x140mm(top) fan)
Case Fans - 2x120mm fans (front) 1x140mm(top)
I know that getting that many fans probably won't be necessary but I plan on running them on low RPM to reduce noise and I'd rather it be to cold rather than to hot. Fans are cheap anyways.
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-970A-D3 AMD Motherboard
GPU - Galaxy GTX 560 Fermi 2GB SLI
CPU - AMD FX-6100 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor
PSU - Corsair 800W (80 Plus Certified)
Hard Drive - Seagate 500GB SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5 Internal
SSD - OCZ Vertex 60GB SATA II 2.5 Internal
The rest like the optical drive, speakers and such don't really matter so I don't feel the need to post them until everything is ordered and final. Will be running Win7.
My only reall question on what to do is the SSD. Should I go bigger? I have a 60GB PS3 and its isn't really close to full but i'm not sure what it saves onto it so I didn't know if that was a good gauge or not.
Thanks for the help in advance.
