Just got this bad boy. - Corleone - Sep 11, 2012
Just got this bad boy Asus GTX 670, my first step to my new build, since I made the mistake of buying a pre-built PC. The CPU I have bottlenecks the fuck out of it though, so if somebody can recommend me a decent CPU and Motherboard, I'd be ever so thankful. Here are some pics.

Nice card OP, im jelly
Anyhow, an i5 and Z77 extreme 4 would do nicely.

Thank you all, I barely ran BF3 on low, glad to see I'm somewhat running it on ultra, all I really need is the CPU upgrade and I'm ready to go. And Programmargorp, if nobody comes along and recommends something better, that is what I'll be going with. :)

Well for the price of the 3570k and the Extreme 4 there really isnt anything that much better.

Hehe, nice Krewella. Yeah, I'm somewhat of a noob when it comes to hardware, but I'm learning. I'm glad I made the right choice with the GTX 670. :) I'm hoping with a new CPU my FPS will go up a lot more, as I'm pretty sure it should be running better than this, fuck this Phenom II x4 9750 2.4 ghz.

What case do you own? Asrock Z77 and an I5 3570k + CM hyper 212 EVO would be perfect for you.
* - Corleone - Sep 11, 2012
I actually forgot to mention that I'm in need of a cheap, but big case aswell, as I'm using the stock case that my HP pc was in, it's very small, infact the GTX 670 only just fits in, and it's cramped, I literally have to have the case open as it's so cramped I can't do any cable managing at all.
* - Steve Kosh - Sep 11, 2012
How cheap do you want the case to be?
* - Corleone - Sep 11, 2012
I'd like it to be around 100-120€ ($130-$150 is what the conversion would be, I guess?), I'd also like to thank everyone for helping me out, you sure are a great help, I appreciate it.
