XFX black edition 79703gb vram, 
8gb RAM, 
1tb hdd,

or perhaps if any of you were in the uk and near Berkshire and would like to sell me some stuff.

There was also this one,

first one isnt that bad tbh

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Would it keep up with modern games (30 fps is good for me)

yah that would be fine for decent settings 1080p so for £300 its a pretty good deal
