Hi all,

Can some kind soul take a look at my specs and give me some advice please. I am wanting to get that "Woosh" effect again in my gaming :)..

My Specs -

gig gaex58 Mother board UD5

I7 920 4gig over clocked

Titan power Tx 750

Corsair XMS 3 6x 1600hz

Radeon HD 5970 Black Edition.

Thanks in advance peeps.
