looking at getting the Silverstone Heligon HE01 CPU Cooler still running the stock cooler
please help this noob out cheers for your time and experience thank you
id recomend a R9 280x if ur mostly playing BF4 itll take advatage of mantle and is $100 less than a Gtx 580
AMD cards are generally cheaper for the same performance.
People say paying more for Nvidia gets them some kind of extra quality, but I haven't seen any evidence of that.
this computer will almost exclusively be playing bf4
amd, period
which card(s) is all up to your budget
grab an R9-280X unless you find a good 7970 cheaper. Look for MSI Twin Frozr, HIS Ice-Q X2, or Asus DCUII, they're generally the best aftermarket coolers around.
If it is BF4 and BF4 only. No other games whatsoever, Grab a 280x or a 290x depending on what is in your budget. If you are playing games that are unlikely to use mantel (People forgot about nvapi) then maybe a 780. If you think you will play games with Physx, Definitely grab a 780 and get your 580 for physx
You can use a Nvidia card for processing Phsyx while having an AMD card as the primary.
thank you guys appreciate the info coming my way help to clear the waters of mu muddy mind cheers
My country is stupid, R9 280X is CHEAPER than 7970
R9 280X- 2.300KN or 415$
7970- 3.462KN or 625$ and yeah that is the price of a graphics card in my country.
And just for fun 780 is 903$ and Titan is 1500$
