Yep looks good although you can drop that to a 550w power supply unless you plan on running 2 x GTX 670s in Sli in the future. If so keep the 750w unit.

i used an amd computer when it was in its glory days

ahhh socket 939

 

[Guest]

socket 7 FTW! you could put in either an intel or amd chip. i was so stoked to get a K5-133 and get 101% of a P90 for 1/2 the price; it screamed through DOS games!

then came windows95 . . . .

Lol you were like what........5 or 6? The Sesame Street and Disney websites don't really count.

 

[TheBigTroll]

Was that meant to be a joke?

 

[TheBigTroll]

im pretty sure. he looked at the more information and saw my age.....

 

[TheBigTroll]

oh and is it worth it if i get a corsair h60 over a hyper 212 evo. i found the h60 for 39.99 while the hyper 212 is 34.98

 

[Deleted member 217926]

Yeah I was just giving him some crap for the way he said he used AMD in it's glory days.

Hell I was using computers when I was that young too but it was an Apple 2! Actually I was a little older. I think my grammer school got it's first computers when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. So it actually might have been an Apple 2e. Early 1980s. They had monochrome monitors.

I actually had Pong too. That was my version of your early flash games. I was amazed when the Atari 2600 came out and remember the games being as much as games are today, like $50 for a new one. Believe it or not people my age were the first to literally grow up playing video games of some sort.

It's close but the Hyper 212 Evo beats an H60 I believe. You have to move up to the very expensive H80 to equal good air cooling and the $100+ H100 will just slightly beat a good air cooler. At least if you add the optional fans so it has a push/pull configuration.

 

[TheBigTroll]

ok then ill stick with hyper 212
