ok so my friend already bought a 6950, and has 1000 dollar budget left, so help make this a kick ass rig for 1000 bucks, should be decent as he already has a decent GPU
friend build
- Thread starter afsc102938
- Start date
i5 3570K, GA-Z77X-UD3H, Corsair TX 650, Carbide 300R, 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RipJaws-X, 120GB SSD.
See if you can get all of that stuff for a grand or less. If so, that'd go well with the 6950, if not then we can start saving money on stuff.
Has he only got the graphics card? Does he need a copy of Windows, too?

I think you forgot the second harddrive

Vista and his ripjaws, 
Gskill ripjaws are good, but, any ram thats above 1600MHz from:Corsair,Gskill, and Kingston will be great.If you wanted to, your friend could get another 6950 and crossfire it for a %10 to %85 permormance gain.

Vista and his ripjaws,
A single 6950 would be fine, Crossfire is something to think about in the future. I usually recommend RipJaws because it is usually cheaper than Vengeance RAM and I prefer it to Kingston Hyper-X; but that's not to say that Hyper-X RAM or RAM from Kingston is bad. I just like RipJaws myself.

crossfire is something to think about when drivers are fixed... Crossfire isn't very good atm for the 6950, much ms.
The drivers are fine. Microstutter is usually a problem with multi-GPU setups anyway.
