umm u wont believe this, but i got XMS2 DDR2 - 800mhz with Cas of 5 last year for 25$ !!! and i got my evga gtx 260 SSC edition for 150$ last year as well!!!!!! exactly 1 year from today too :D
[QUOTE="adamosmaki"][QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"]I have the same card OCed to hell. I use a ocz 600 watt psu, and it was only like $60. Unlike everyone else I say stay as far away from corsair as you can. There PSUs are way over priced. Yeah true they are overpriced but they are still good. As for the OCZ 600w its indeed one of the best deals when it comes to Psu's under $100 antec earthwatt 650W is 75$. thats a really good deal imo for under 100$
upgrading the ram is a true waste of money. why u ask? well ok ur going from 4gb to 4gb ok? u say the mhz is more, but look at the cas ur going from 5 to 9, that is a truly noobish mistake. also wait 1 more month for new hexa cores and just go staright to those.

You make a good point about the hexa cores, but the CAS latency increase is to be expected when going from DDR2 to DDR3. The latency is going up but the clock is almost doubling, which I think is a pretty good tradeoff. Also keep in mind that with my current rig, I can't run the RAM in dual channal at 1066mhz, but with the DDR3 on that mobo, I'm pretty sure I can get dual channel DDR3 1600, which would give close to the same latency *in theory*.
honestly wait off the ram, cause ur Cas is also doubled in theory which will cause performance loss. also im not sure why u arent running a in dual channel at 1066 but u should be, and on DDR3 at 1600 yea maybe but why would u get 2000mhz ram?

For PhsyX enable it should be the 260GTX but for power people Underestimated HD5770 power if Overclocked i think li clear this thing up : they are about Equal if the HD5770 not Stronger how ? by perform a small overclock it was tested on xbitslab which mean it a reliable source of information
at least should be do-able altough i doesn't know how far it is hard to oc the card but it seem quite easy if they did without put any special cooling / aftermarket gpu cooler

dude ur forgetting that a GTX 260 is just as OCable as a 5770 if not better so its on par if not better with then the 5770. also funny to see a dx 10 stand a big chance against a dx 11 card
260's are KICK*** in SLi, they equal to about a gtx 295 :D im thinkin about buying a second later on
somegtalover
lol all that might be true, its not worth over getting just a 470 and just running physx or something. also TC no ur PSU cant handle a gtx 260 becuase ur amps on a rail are kinda small. its the same as running a 4890.
[QUOTE="Wildedge93"][QUOTE="Renevent42"] I'm not missing the point, you are. Piracy on the PC is well beyond what's going on the consoles. PS3 doesn't even have a piracy on it (or very very little). And they can only burn and give it to their friend *if* those other people have altered consoles too. You have to alter your XBox 360 in order to play pirated games. And if you look at the videos/articles on how to do it it's way harder to do than just download a torrent and install (like on the PC). Renevent42
lol i saw some and they are pretty simple as long as u have a brain and hands. i think pirating games is more complicated becuase u have cracks to over write, move this here click start. sorry error, go back fix this, update this, wait no get the cracked version. so on and so forth. 360 has every game for one, and two its a one time mod and thats it and MS is losing more money over this than pc as well, because again, some ppl who pirated the game, had no intention of even buying it.
So overwriting a single file in a directory is harder than taking apart an xbox, pulling out the drive, using the right flash apps and dongles...ect ect ect (I don't want to go too far into detail per the gamespot TOS)?
Really? C'mon man...that stinks of dishonesty.
umm, u no what, i quit but before i quit go and crack a DoW2. lets see how far u get.
