Don't cross-post.

I left you answer in your other thread before I saw this one.

im new to this my fault

We won't shoot you or anything.

Just best to ask your questions in a single forum, likely a mod will either merge your other thread into this one (since this is really where the question belongs) or else just lock up one or the other.

ok thanks so you think a cheaper 3870 is better for mei the v7700 is outa my league

 

[Denithor]

See my post in your GPU thread.

And -- you can afford the cash for an i7 build but not for a V7700? Wow.

As a hint, go look for a V7700 on eBay - I've seen several sell recently in the $300-400 range. Or just follow my advice in the other post.
