Hi all,
OK A quick update. I decided to go with the XFX RADEON R7 260x as I have been a RADEON follower since I can remember... The new card is awesome, no overheat, clock speed is nice and it runs my SKYRIM on Ultra with no problems, just eats away whatever I throw at it,, I have uploaded a couple of pics to share with you, and to thank all those who have helped me with my problems..And mainly helped me in building this.

1st Pic is of new build with the XFX Runnig,


2nd is of my complete setup.




Sorry to trouble you all again but I now have a dilemma, It seems my ATI RADEON has started to bottleneck when playing Skyrim, lockup, frame loss and crashing.
I have no idea what bottleneck means but am using it to describe my problem. Now I am lloking at a new gpu but have been told that the setup will bottleneck again as intel and ATI do not work well together,

My specs are as follows,

O/S Windows 7 64bit,
CPU, intel i5 4570
Mobo, GIGABYTE H87-HD3 PCI-Express 3.0.
Memory, 16gb Corsair Vengeance,
PSU, 750watt,
GPU, ATI RADEON HD6670 2gb <<<<Want to change>>>>

The new card is a XFX R7-260X-CNF4 R7 260X NVIDIA Graphics Card PCI-e 2 GB GDDR5 ,

Can one of you delightful people please reassure me that this new card will be safe with no problems.

Intel and and radeons work well together, don't worry about that.
Install msi afterburner and check your card temps while playing.

The new card would work great. Also do as above.
