The monitor has a 60hz refresh rate, they both get well over 60 FPS constant so spending more for the same result isn't worth it. You may also want to take in note the MSI 560 ti blows hot air directly into the case - it also may be too much for your 500w PSU to handle ( depends on the brand ).

I'd look for low-profile RAM since there will be clearance issues with those huge sticks.

I Don't want to go for a higher res as i don't like really small icons on the desktop

What?

Would that monitor not be overkill with the 560TI?

May go for it as i can enlarge the icons can't i :facepalm:

I have plenty of space in my case ATm it has 5 fans as well blowing air out and one intake fan and the RAM i have changed to these:

Yes, yes you can. If you're going for that 1920 x 1080 monitor, you'll want that 560 ti ( fantastic choice btw ). It also uses DVI input compared to VGA which I'm going to assume you're running.

Better choice of RAM.

I've never really heard anything about Alpine, but if it's been holding your 5770 for this long, it should handle the 560 ti fine as long as there is 2 x 6 pins.

Yup im running DVI atm

And im going to have to upgrade my PSU unfortunatly because it does not have 2 x 6 pins going to go for this PSU

A lot of the 'low end' PSU's don't live up to what they say. The Antec above does cost more, but has a great reputation in the PSU industry. Has 2 x 6 pins so you'll be set - modular as well!

Just a tip, if you're just looking for gaming performance, you may want to hold off on the RAM since games don't really use more than 4.

BTW Thanks for the help i appreciate it and im going to go for the PSU you recommended and im going to go for 8gb RAM for future-proofing also do you think this is a decent rig?

Sounds good.

Descent rig is a understatement, especially with the upgrades you have in mind! You have the best gaming CPU out and a really nice 560 ti ( I got 2 of 'em ).
