you can go XF too with the 7970M.

Add an OC to the 940 and the GPU's and you can pass 15K benching on the GPU's. (you need 330w PSU mod or 330W plug mod btw)

I do BF4 on ultra with OC on the 920 and stock GPU's using V-sync at 60 and keeping it there most of the time even on 64 player maps so its not much this thing cant do that other computers do.

Yes, im planning to do cf about end of this year, just dont need so much performance yet. But psu mod looks complicated, i have no skills to do this mod

[trome71]

the plug mod is not that bad.

Advantage not waiting to long on the CF upgrade.

You might have to go used card to do the upgrade.

Then again, its also a price thing.

Which do you recommend? PSU mod or Plug mod?

[trome71]

recomend the plug mod, easier than the PSU mod, and you can for instance replace the PSU without having to do the mod again.
