Hey guys I posted few days back on which GPU i should get for my amd build ,
but looks like i changed my mind and decided 2 add lil extra money for an i5 build

Pls give me any comments or suggestions on this build

PCU> CORE i5 750 S1156
Mobo> MSI P55-GD65
RAM> CORSAIR PC1333 D3(2g+2g)
Heatsink > CM Hyper 212+
Cassing> CM-gladiator 600 casing
HDD> 1T WD Black
PSU> XIGMATEK NRP-PC502 (500w)
GPU> Galaxy GTX260+ OC
x3 casing Fans

Didnt state the price cause im waiting for Compuzone to update their price

But my budget is around 3K

this build will cost me less then 3.3k

ASUS 5770,5770 Cucore or Sapphire 5770 Vapor-X?

Hey guys im planning to buy a new mid range Gaming PC soon and here's what i plan 2 buy

CPU> Phenom II AM3x4 3.4Ghz
Mboard> Asus M4A78T-E
RAM> Crossair 1333 D3 (2G+2G)
CPU Cooler> CM hyper N520 (CPU Cooling)
Cassing> CM Gladiator 600
PSU> CM 550W
HDD> WD Black 1T HD
GC> ASUS HD5770
3 x CM 120 FAN

Now im confused on which HD5770 i should get..
initially i plan on getting the normal ASUS 5770 ...but now with the ASUS 5770 Cucore out im unsure if i should get the CuCore or the Sapphire vapor x

all 3 are simmilar in price

so far what i gathered up on reviews are:

ASUS comes with a Voltage tweak which helps on easy Overclocking ..both the normal 5770 & Cucore has it

but the CuCore apparently only has 1 crossfire connector & no Display ports (no Eye infinity)

Vapor-X on the other hand has a great cooling system But it does not have the voltage tweak like the ASUS brand does

Hope u guys who have any of these 3 cards can help me out a lil

plus if u want 2 comment on the parts i chosen for a Mid range gaming pc feel Free 2 speak out
