Hi (sorry not spamming just moved it to what i think is the right location on the forum)

Ok im planning to get a system but im looking to buy this build :

750 watt corsair TX

HD 6950 2gb

I5 2500k

Asus p8p67 pro

transcend jetram 4gb RAM

Coolermaster 690 chasis

Samsung F2 3.5 " 500 gb HDD 5400 rpm

Acer 21.5" LED 12000000 :1

My question is the GPU im planning to get looks like this

Is this card efficient and flashable?
Im planning to flash it but not soon more in the mere future

Please tell me your opinions on this build
I live in South Africa so prices are slightly higher than international prices from New Egg and Amazon

Thank you
 
^ Nice parts, but you should get a faster HDD as 5400RPM is slow for a boot drive,... Go for Samsung F3 500GB or Seagate 7200.12 drives,...

GPU - That cards looks like a reference card and I think all reference cards can be flashed,... But most of the non-reference cards which have after-market coolers cannot be flashed...
