Im thinking about either gettin the GTX 280 or GX2 not sure though. Anyone own both or one of these and would like ot give feedback would be appreciated.

The GTX280 is the fastest graphics card in the world right now. skapunkclarence

And it does so with extreme noise and heat capable of melting the face off a badger! xDskapunkclarence

ROFLMAO

Could always consider the Nvidia 260 series, they not as powerfull as 280 but are quite a bit cheaper, but for ultimate power stick with 280, if your good at OC'in you will probably get the standard version past the 216 core version, unfortunatly the new ATI 48xx run far too noisy and far too hot unless you live in a wind tunnel or can afford the mother of all cooling solutions.

And yeah consider maybe an E8400 Core 2 Duo if its just for gaming (the E8500 & E8600 are generally not worth the big jump in price), the E8400 generally reaches 4ghz with ease but at a 3ghz standard clock is still pretty sweet and 1 of the best gaming gpus around.

Have fun
