Hmmm, thanks for making me feel better lol!! I dont mind , i think what i got should be ok hopefully!

the one in my sig is better and it was 850$. also i replaced the antec tp 650 to a bfg 1000w psu

[QUOTE="tmos21"]OK , i wasnt asking if all of your pcs is better!!! I was only asking what you all thought of mine!!UltimateGamer95

Ok , i would have got the 4850 but it just went over my budget. I might upgrade in a couple of months when i have bit of cash again.....

next time don't get into pre-build :-/ and make ur own piece by piece.. you could ad Q9550 and P45's and 4890 1GB for the money or at last 260 GTX 216 core / 4870 1GB if by any chance ship / tax get too high

But anyway ur rig is average power beside for gpu so it should play smooth at 1680x1050 if you get new gpu and soon they releasing HD5850-5870 rumour price 199-299$USD : 30-60% more power then 4870 1GB = stronger then 285GTX + First DX11 Compatible GPU for incoming DX11 Games

Will do , im only starting to get into the whole pc gaming scene. Thanks for the advice budtmos21

I got a quick question. The pc I am getting dosnt actually have windows 7 installed. It dosnt come with any os installed. I have windows 7 on dvd ready for install. But, i also have windows xp pro. Which os do you think would work best with games???tmos21
