Hello, my 4850 died on me after 4 years..pretty upsetting but *** happens. The only games i really played was world of warcraft, and league of elgends though. I was going to just buy a new system, but i figured ill wait until ivy bridge is released then upgrade. Like some other people on here im mostly a console gamer and am getting BF3 and skyrim for xbox ( playing/chatting with friends having fun > better graphics .)
When i built it 4 years ago i never planned on overclocking, so i never bought a cpu cooler and used the stock one.And i needed a tad bit of help with building it, i put in most of the stuff but i had trouble knowing where to plug all of the case wirings into the moboand stuff. And since my case is a Coolmaster Centurin 590, if i wanted to install a cpu i would have to remove the motherboard, unplug everything, and tbh thats just to much of a hassle. (ill be buying the CM Hyper 212+, if i do need a cpu cooler to OC it) But if i NEED to OC it to like 3.2 so the 6870 wont be bottlenecked, i'll do it. Within the 4 years ive built it i never had problems with it overheating or anything etheir. And its always been fast, considering the only multitasking i do is play a game one one screen, then browse the internet on the other.
Anyway so i decided to i will probaly be getting this 6870
