if the PSU is Extreme Power, either change it to accommodate good GPU or get HD5670. its lower LOAD power should ensure you don't get a bang for the buck :smile:

if u into serious gaming, theres no limit. change PSU & add in 2 X XFX HD5990 Black Edition.

CM Extreme Power Series PSU are not 80+ Efficient. So Avoid it.

OK then tell me what should be the ideal psu for RADEON HD 5970?
AND will it go with my config?

depends on what card u choose. if HD5670, current PSU should suffice. but i'll never suggest anyone run anything more power hungry on Extreme Power. every chance is there, it'll fry the PC.

any Full Tower cabinet will accommodate this card with ease. or even the NZXT cabinets will.

+1 for Corsair HX750W

and yes, you need a full tower for fitting that card.

one more suggestion Upgrade your RAM to 4G.

For cabinet, look for either HAF 932 or CM Cosmos.. HAF is highly recommended as it has a massive 230mm fan in the front which intakes a lot of cool air.. besides, it also has a 230 mm fan on the top which acts as a super exhaust while running quiet.. and, one 230 mm fan on the side panel which intakes cool air directly on to the card.. so I think that this should be perfect for your ATI monster..

You can also try HAF 922.. which is mid-tower, but enquire whether 5970 will fit in it or not..also, if you're spending around >30k for the card, I suggest go for Cooler Master Hyper N520 cooler for your CPU too..

For the HD5970 please get a full tower.

lol a 5970 in an elite..as for the PSU, a GX750 for Rs6k will also do...

Thats it. That i already have in mind.

So this a universal CABBY for any GPU card in years to come.

i haven't done it yet, Sir. Asking for opinion only. And GX750 will not stand in front of Corsair HX750 W COZ that is a psu without any cons.

SO GUYS WHAT IS THE TOTAL COST COMING FOR :

CM HAF 932

PSU CORSAIR 750W

CM Hyper N520

HD 5970

TRANSCEND 2GB 1333

Stretch you budget by Rs. 400 & get Cooler Master Hyper N620

CM Hyper N620 - Rs. 2800 + taxes
CM HAF 932 - Rs. 9000 + taxes
Corsair HX 750 - Rs. 8200 + taxes.
Sapphire 5970 - Rs. 38438 + taxes..

If you can, then opt for Cooler Master HAF 932 AMD edition.. Rs. 10500 + taxes..
