what about 580 SLI in future - if a user using a 580 now and wants to buy card for SLI later I think GTX 580 is more better in that aspect coz 580 price will come down a little bit in the future for sure anyway and 580 SLi will even put behind GTX 590 in performance

Yup its true bro. GTX 580 lightning is a beast.

Yes, you can IMO. In enthusiast sections, you can recommend Armorsuit PCP50R and in the high-end, mid range section you can put the K62. It comes with 4 pre-installed fans, 3 of them 140mm LED, and features completely tool-less installation, even for the motherboard; superb cable management; enough clearance to accommodate tall & bulky CPU coolers; can accommodate the longest GFX cards and also ready for 2.5" HDD/SSD installation (which requires screws though). Problems? If you are looking for water cooling, it won't take dual 120mm rads without modification. It will be a very good alternative to CM 690 series.

will now surely look at them.

BTW, how about this cabinet :
HAF 912 Advanced (Asia only) - Cooler Master - Leading Provider of Computer Case | Cooler | Power Supply

at 5.6k with loads of features and 2x 200mm and 1x 120mm with usb 3.0 IO panel it's a steal and far more better than 690

hmm. will see it too.

Guys, last Saturday I was in M.D. Computer with Cool Comp. He was building his system over there. I have purchased a single 4 GB XMS3 1600 @ 2.4K +4% vat.

By the way, when I asked the shopkeeper about the price of HD 6950 2 GB, he said it was like 15.6K. Then he checked it in the system and guess what..........: Sapphire HD 6950 2 GB is available @ 14.5K. He said he can even arrange one for me @ 14.2K under some scheme.

So pricing is really sweet. Now Sapphire HD 6870 is available @ 11K

cilus nice update. do ask for price of msi 6950 2gb twin frozr II.

@ Extreme Gamer -

if you get a GTX 580,the minimum you should get is a 700W PSU.its not just the wattage but also the amperage on the 12V rail that counts.i would not recommend below 50A on the 12V rail (total system single rail PSU).And I would not go below 45A (again single rail)ever for the 580.

Corsair TX650 has 53A on +12V rail which is 636W of power is easily can handle a single GTX 580 and it's for single GPU 5802 config anyway.

@ Jaskanwar Singh - For 2x 580 in SLi how about Seasonic SS-850AT 850W @ ~6.5k - this beast has 70A on +12V ( 840W of power ) and easily can power up a GTX 580 SLi rig with OCed SB "K" cpu.

Read these - don't consider furmark results ;-)

modular, 76amps on 12v+ rail, 7.9k sweet price.

Skud · May 10, 2011

See if you can fit a different model of 580 instead of the Twin Frozer.

Jaskanwar Singh · May 10, 2011

I know it, but what about the budget?

thetechfreak · May 10, 2011

Even I prefer twin frozr. Leading by 1 vote.

Hmm cant we make a tri sli 560ti?

Wont it outperform gtx 580?

lordirecto · May 10, 2011

@Jas: Can you tell me where the Gigabyte GA P67A UD7 is priced at 17k?

d3p · May 10, 2011

A tri SLI 560Ti can outperform a GTX580, but if purpose of it ends in Single Monitor Gaming, then its a complete bad idea. specially the space & PSU requirements.

If user is interested in Multi-Monitor Setups, then 6950 CF is a ultimate choice over 560ti.

I didn;t find it at 17k, but at 18.2k its available at Primeabgb & 20k with SMC.

Cilus · May 10, 2011

For outperforming a GTX 580, even two GTX 560 is more than enough, no need for Three way SLI. Actually the cheaper HD 6850 CF can beat GTX 580. And d3p5kor is right here, if multimonitor setup is not planned, 2 way SLi or CF is more than enough for all the current generation games.
In multimonitor Setup, HD 6950 is ranked over GTX 560 because of its 2 GB Vram per GPU

@d3p: Thanks!
Now I am furious that I bought my UD7 from SMC!!
