That looks pretty sweet

Nice set!

But the GFX-Card is kinda but in comparison to the rest components

What games are you playing with it?

NIce ride.

Pesh, he said he was putting a 7970 in next week, so his card gonna rock.

 

Is that power supply 650w, or is that just the model number?

I would think you would need more power for that setup. (I burned a mobo and vid card with a 650w...not to mention the power supply itself.)

Oh didnt seen it 

 

The Power Supply is pretty fine.

 

I got a Be Quiet! L8-430W Pure Power on that setup:

 

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition

Scythe Grand Kama Cross Rev. B

AsRock 890GX Extreme 3

Sapphire Radeon HD7870 GHz Edition, 2GB GDDR5

8 GB Hynix DDR3-1333 RAM

 

 

Even the Be-Quiet 430W is enough for my power-eater setup, so the corsair will handle it for sure.

You need new desk now.

 

I like both your rigs, in fact I was gonna get your AMD setup (or pretty close), but now I think I want your Intel setup. Let me know which one games better, or if you can notice a difference between the 2 in game. I was looking at that 3960 6 core intel......but its pricey. That 3770k has got some nice benchmarking, and a little closer to my budget then the 6 core.

 

The huge L2 cache is what drove me to the 6 core,  maybe thats not as important to gaming as i thought. What do you think the most important factor is, in picking a CPU to game with??? Is 6 cores and bigger L2 worth 2x the money?

not for gaming, more for video rendering, you should be good even with an i5 which shows best gaming performance. 

For gaming i would go with my AMD rig and that's what i use it for it is cheaper and performs about the same.
