An overclocked Core i7-3770K processor coupled with an overclocked Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan graphics card may cost a pretty penny, nonetheless the potent combination delivers excellent results.

Chillblast's Fusion Stealth has an overclocked Core i5-3570K paired with a GeForce GTX 670 - a powerful combination in its own right - but the Scan 3XS Z77 Node Titan is in a different league.

We hope to see around 60 frames per second for a gaming PC running at 1080p. The 3XS Z77 Node Titan is clearly capable of a lot more.

Using the Node Titan to play Just Cause 2 at 1080p is an obvious case of overkill. Full-HD gamers can expect buttery-smooth frame rates in practically every modern game, but this is a system that's crying out for more; it really needs a large 2,560x1,440 monitor for its performance potential to be realised.
