Switch the Green for a Black. For preformance

he already has it lol.

[delet my acc pls]

Maybe you could get a 7950 instead of the 760 (7950 is better overclocked and overclocking a GPU is really easy)

Ok, but because I already have it ill keep it in for backups

Green for back ups is a great choice. Put RAID!

I'll keep that in mind closer to the time I start buying the components

Ahh yes raid mind you in a year or so i might build a home file server for backups to all my computers

I was actually looking up benchmarks the other day, gtx 760 does pretty well actually. I am not sure I would say get a 7950 over it... Honestly, either is a good option I think.

Yeah, both Gtx 760 and 7950 are both good and around the same price. I'll admit im a bit of a nvidia fan boy  :D but I'll still got for radeon if i had to.

Here is a comparison between a stock 760 and a DirectCU II Asus 7950:

I think the power consumption and heat reduction (stock vs stock, obviously the Asus card is going to be quite and cool compared to stock nVidia) might be worth it. Although the 7950 does OC pretty well. Either is a good choice!

 

Also, I didn't look at speeds, but that Asus 7950 should be OCed a bit already... but I am sure there is OC headroom left, probably a bunch

Thanks for the comparison

As to your original post your budge , what is the purpose of your build & when you plan on building

[PCBudgetSolutions]

GTX 760 if you don't plan to OC or want to utilize GPU Boost 2.0, but teh HD 7950 wins out if you want to manually overclock.  The difference isn't huge UNLESS you're gaming above 1080P, or set AA very high.

My budget is £650 and the things that I havent bought come upto £650 on dabs. My main purpose of the build is to game, hence i got an i5 not i7 and im planning on building it at the end of the year. About december time. which could mean the prices could have dropped for certain items.

Thanks Budget, it shouldn't effect me that much then. I don't game over 1080p and I usually never have my AA high in any game

[mvitkun]

i already have a green because its out of my old pc

that's what I meant.

I was saying that there's no point in recommending something else because he (you) already had it.

Prices will definitely change by then though.

Thanks for them edits, I will take that in account when making my computer

Thanks for the suggestion and I guess just over 50p per gb is cheap enought

So if I didn't get the WD 1tb black drive and just used my WD 1tb green thats the computer and price http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1kEv. The power supply is at the bottom in custom because pcpartpicker doesn't have my silver stone psu.

Greens aren't good performers, blues and barracudas would be better.

So this is the current build you have?
