vortex 750

[Cybermoose]

Hi guys

Apart from changing the case to the sharkoon, I plan on changing the radeon r9 270x to the gtx 970.

Is that worth doing & if so, would I have to change anything else?

Cheers

Thanks Steaky, I realised I hadn't linked the spec & couldn't get back on to do it, loading is hit & miss on my pc (using my phone now)

Budget is £700ish... but I could live with the price this came out at.

Gaming only for it, ready for the new COD in November & the next Starcraft expansion mainly.

I'd suggest upping the warranty to at least silver

Seems reasonable for a fiver. It's like you know I'm a sore loser & will kick the tower when I lose at COD.
