It doesnt seem to say what brand the psu is,so I assume its a bad one. Also the OS might be pirated =p

What kind of 5850s do you have? Reference or non reference cards?

Stick it on an really old computer and pretend its powerful.

Hes been brooding over it for all this time. TC, I say you wait another two and half and get even better choices!

sorry i am a noob..what is 460? Full model name?varunthom

Nvidia gtx 460, however getting GTA IV to work "good" is pretty hard due to its terrible coding.

If you can sell the 6850 to recoup a bit of the cost, its not the smartest or worst idea, but the quest for power never is.

Your gonna need around 1.5v for around 5Ghz, but I wouldnt run it at that voltage 24/7 anyway, technically with 32nm chips the slicion is thinner and with so much voltage, will wear out sooner. Might still be a while before it actually dies or w/e, so I might be just paranoid.

Is that caviar green gonne be your main drive? Cause those are slow and meant for storage, your gonna need something faster if its your main drive. Something like F3 spinpoints.
