Hi guys,
the thing is, I'm about to buy a new pc in about 3-5 weeks and I've set up a nice little system. Now I do have a couple of questions.

-Durability, will this piece of technology have a long life or will i need to upgrade it next year...?
-Vid card, whats the diff between the 1gd5 and the normal one? coz it seems mine is pretty cheap for a 4870,
-do i need to buy extra processor/vid card/ coolers?
-am i missing something in this system? (a drive, anything else?)
-is my case good? coz i don't really know all the differences between all the cases, it just has to have enough space for a possible upgrade (coolers, ram, ..?)
-any other suggestions or useful information that you are dying to share with me? :D
-will i have enough eye candy as it is meant for high performance gaming :p?

oh yeah, i have a budget of around 700-750 €.

If you can wait a month the directx 11 cards should be out although they'll probably cost a fair bit more than that 4870. The cpu will come with an adequate cooler and you'd only have to upgrade that if you were thinking of overclocking a fair bit,

Case seems ok, review here http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Cool ... 600/6.html
