Hi! I have a rosewill Ranger m, 8gb ram, cx430, ga78lmtusb3,2tb seagate green, fx4300 w/ stock cooler and don't yet have a gpu. I am running of the 760 g for dual monitors so you must know how bad it feels to not be able to run games at all. Gtx550ti forever died after a few years and now wants new gpu. My case has 305mm gpu support, and the sapphire 6850 is 292ish cm. will it fit okay and will temps be okay? I have a 120mm intake at 7v and rear 80mm exhaust at 7v, too. Will hd 7770 be a better choice. Play skyrim, bf3/4, cod, gta 4, half life 2, lfd2, etc... At 1680x1050 and later on will upgrade from my dual 1050p 22" Monitors to one 23 or 24 inch 1080p monitor. Fine with medium settings at 40+ fps.

Hi,u have marvellous airflow with these fans, u'll be ok. sapphire generally makes good cooling for their cards also, even if 6850's a little hot one(I mean not very hot but it needs to dissipate somesome). eehhh, u'll be ok but if u can, get an hd7850. it will lead u farer & b more comfortable. for the 7770 also, for today's games at med settings will fit but, u know, I still advise the 7850 so your rig would be more future proof. good luck

Hi. I am getting this as my 14th b-day present, I did very well in school this year, so do you think it will be okay to ask for something a little more expensive? Like r7 260x (hd 7790), or gtx 750? I will also be using this pc for 3d modeling through cad for my school electives and render videos and pictures sometimes, too.

if you're using iRay for render, I'd suggest the gtx for u'd be more productive with it. anyway, if games are your first aim, no need to go for it and proceed with cpu render. If u argue that buying a 7850 or more is investment and better than buying another card in 1 year, haha. no, thats true. futureproof gpu is better for both parts.
