Haswell isn't even out...

Anyway, the innards of my old 7 year old desktop.

It still works! Could do some cleaning.

You're like a slinky. Good for nothing, but you bring a smile to my face when I push you down the stairs.

At least you have a dedicated GPU.

I had to endure 3 years of running off a god awful GMA 900 before I received a MacBook Pro that actually has a proper GPU and my current rig with a 7950. :D

The system came with a radeon x1300 pro. I upgraded to a GT 430.

So I need a wireless adapter (Wired is out of the question), and I was wondering if I should go with a $15 cheap one or invest into a $60 better one.

I was going to say, "How about a $60 adapter that costs $10?" but they're sold out.

I just got a $10 TP Link for my mother's computer and it works fine. You don't even need an internal if you don't want, although I'm not well-versed in how it affects performance. Try Google or wait for someone else here to answer.

How about this one? On Amazon.

Just get a USB extension cable if it doesn't come with one.

if I'm actually thinking right I can If I'm actually budgeting this right in my head, right now in my wallet, I have 339 dollars. My mom is buying me my monitor for Christmas and I should get around $100 from my relatives. That puts me at about $440. My dad said hed get me the HDD, CPU cooler, PSU, and DVD drive. I bought the CPU, case, RAM, and mobo. That means I should be able to buy a 7970:D Anyone know how well those overclock and all?

From what I've read, those overclock very well and it may exceed even the GTX 680 when it comes to performance.

Be sure to get a card with a non-reference cooler. Then you'll be able to crank it up even more.

The 7970 already does outperform the 680, and it will even more from overclocking. The 7970 is currently the best (single-GPU) card you can get at the moment.

Sweet. I'm excited now! I'll post pics of the parts I bought yesterday tonight.

Not related to this, but, what's the difference between the 212 Plus and 212 Evo?

The heat pipes are directly together instead of there being spacing between each pipe.

Better cooling.

Just ordered the rest of the my stuff except for my video card.

My birthday is coming up soon and I should be getting around $100 from that....and then my mom is gonna give me $300 to go towards stuff....and then my grandma WAS gonna buy me a part or 2....but I was able to buy them today....so I may be able to get some money from her as well.

So here's the real question.....670, 680, or 7970?
