Hey guys im planning to buy a new mid range Gaming PC soon and here's what i plan 2 buy

CPU> Phenom II AM3x4 3.4Ghz
Mboard> Asus M4A78T-E
RAM> Crossair 1333 D3 (2G+2G)
CPU Cooler> CM hyper N520 (CPU Cooling)
Cassing> CM Gladiator 600
PSU> CM 550W
HDD> WD Black 1T HD
GC> ASUS HD5770
3 x CM 120 FAN

Now im confused on which HD5770 i should get..
initially i plan on getting the normal ASUS 5770 ...but now with the ASUS 5770 Cucore out im unsure if i should get the CuCore or the Sapphire vapor x

all 3 are simmilar in price

so far what i gathered up on reviews are:

ASUS comes with a Voltage tweak which helps on easy Overclocking ..both the normal 5770 & Cucore has it

but the CuCore apparently only has 1 crossfire connector & no Display ports (no Eye infinity)

Vapor-X on the other hand has a great cooling system But it does not have the voltage tweak like the ASUS brand does


Hope u guys who have any of these 3 cards can help me out a lil

plus if u want 2 comment on the parts i chosen for a Mid range gaming pc feel Free 2 speak out thumbup.gif

Thank you guys for helping me out!
i think i'll go for the 5770 CuCore since i doubt i'll ever use the eye infinity plus it'll help cool the card if i ever overclock it sweat.gif

@lex
I did read a review on Phenom X4 vs i5 somewhere..
the 2 processors are pretty much the same just that the i5 has a lil more flex.gif when doing heavy tasks
still it does make me think if i should go i5 hmm.gif haha

Thanks again guys for the help on the graphic card!
