You could have gotten a better GPU than that with the money that you spent, isnt' that card between the 5770 and 5850? Looks like it is comparable to the 4890 in performance. While it's not a bad card to game with, i just think that a $1200 could have gotten you a more pwerful card.

yea i wish you can replace that GPU, you should have consulted us first. But still, great PC, you can CF another one later.GazaAli

i was on here a while ago and was recommended the 5850 or 5870 over what i currentley had in mind the 5770 so i settled in the middle on the 5830 cuz even the 5850 was $85 more for what seemed like a marginal improvment

Don't get us wrong, it's still a nice card for gaming right now. If you would have dropped the i7 930 to a 920 what price drop would that have been? I can tell you that you wouldn't have noticed any performance drop at all with that change. AN i5 would have been even better. Pretty much an i7 without the HT, which games don't use anyway.

I see....that' strange:?

Well your CPU is going to be around for a long time I can say that much. Those things are power houses. The only real change I would have said would have been to get an i5 instead of i7. It may be just me but I think an i7 isn't worth the price, if you are only gaming minded that is. If you are doing other CPU intensive tasks then yeah, i7 all the way.
