I thought i'd share my new pc upgrades i brought over the past week..
Whats new;
sapphire 7970 ghz edition 3gb graphics card
16gb corsair vengense ram
amd 8350 cpu @ 4.0/4.2ghz
corsair h80i water cooler
I also have a nzxt blue lighting kit which makes the inside of the case look awesome..
The next thing is a SSD and maybe new power supply :D Also tidy up the cables, its a mess inside the case due too my non modular powersupply

Full spec list;
NZXT Phantom full tower case(with all fans fitted and a blue led lighting system)
Asus M5A99X Evo Motherboard
Standard DVD Drive
2TB Hard drive
750W Corsair power supply
8350 AMD Cpu @ 4.0/4.2GHz
Sapphire HD7970 3GB 6000MHz Vapor-X Graphics Card
16GB Corsair Ram
Corsair h80i water cooler
The new water cooler also came with some amazing software called corsair link which allows me to monitor and control many things of the pc, if i had the correct powersupply i could also monitor and edit parts of that using this software.

Dont blame you, this pc is a beast, runs BF3 on ultra at 80fps + and the fans can keep it cool without beeing too loud

Most of my stuff is black and blue though in my setup 8)
Does ATI give anymore games with their high end cards regularily? I remember before they stepped to the HD series they used to give games like Dirt, Dirt 2 and such crap away with the cards.

Yes i got bioshock infinite, crysis 3 and far cry 3
Just ordered some corsair SP120 fans for the h80i cooler, the stock ones are too loud for me, Also a 250gb Samsung SSD :D
Will add more images when they come in a few days
Whats wrong with loud fans? usually loudness means it spins faster and moves air quicker. Or the bearings are gone

At 1000-1750 rpm they are fine. Once they get any faster they just become annoying, no harm done in changing them besides to my bank
I like to hear my machine that it is on. If it makes noise, it works and works normally not that the fans are not working and then your cooking your PC inside out. Currently my fans are spinning at 2000-4000RPM.. Thats not bad yet.. My firewall's 4 fans are spinning at 11,500RPM

My cpu underload is at less than 20-30degres so even if the fans go slowers its not going todo any harm to the cpu, the rest of the case is bringing and removing enough air to cool everything else while on a low speed setting on the fan controller

Also after playing with the corsair link software, ive got the fans on quiet mode so now even on BF3 on ultra at 80+ fps the fans only run around 1300rpm, but the cpu only reaches 30-40degres which is plenty cool enough.. So infact the stock fans are okay, its just how you set them up.
The new fans are preasure optimised which will help pull more air away from the radiator but also due to the rubber mounts and extra care on silent performance they will run quieter too
