in 2006 I built the following rig:

C2D OCed @ 3.2ghz

2gb DDR2 800 RAM

650w OCZ PSU

Asus p5b MOBO

1TB Samsung spinpoint F1

Generic Mid-Tower Case

7900GT GPU, sold it and Bought an 8800GT

Cost with the 8800GT: $800

This rig lasted me into 2011, when my father's PC broke and I gave this one to him, wasn't planning to upgrade really, that rig ran all my games med-high setting at 1680x1050, mostly high. I bought the following rig as a replacement:

Phenom2 x6 1045t OCed to 3.3ghz

8gb ddr3 1600 RAM cas 8

ASRock Extreme 3 AM3+ MOBO

Thermatake 8 50W PSU

GTX460 1gb OCed to 850ghz summer/900mhz winter

Antec 900 Midtower

Cost: $650-700

This is the PC I have now, with the exception of the GPU which is currently an HD7970 which I got as a present from my GF. I wasn't planning to upgrade this rig until 2 years into the new console gen, it ran all my games at 1080p on high setting without issue. FC3, BF3, Crysis 2, Crysis 3 (med) etc. I would go so far to say that my OCed GTX460 easily kept up with the new concoles, and would do so for at least 2 years. FarCry3 for example ran on high-very high @ 1080p with 40+fps. So I guess my current rig is around $700 with the 7970. With the new GPU I don't plan on upgrading until I reach all med settings @ 1080p for 90% of the games I play, which looks to be a very loooong while, especially now that the consoles are using AMD hardware and basically stripped down versions of my GPU.

[QUOTE="adamosmaki"][QUOTE="emgesp"] Yes, the GTX 460 is the better card, but it still falls within the minimum specs. The 5770 is probably the weakest card that Ubisoft recommends you use. emgesp

not really . Gts 450, 6770, 5770,7750 those fall in line with 5770. The likes of gtx460, 6850, 7770,5850 fall 1 step above minimum, Those are cards that are 20-30% ( in some cases even more ) faster than 5770

Well the GTX 460 fits somewhere between a 5770 and a 7850, so it makes more sense to put that within minimum specs than recommended specs. The gap in performance between the 7850 and GTX 460 is much wider than the GTX 460 is over the 5770. 

True, however most gtx460s are factory OCed cards. I had a GTX460 at 850mhz, at these clocks its faster than a 6870, which isn't too far off the 7850 tbh. I ran BF3 at 1080p maxxed with FXAA, no shutters at all, proly 45-60fps easily. Far Cry 3 ran amazingly well. The only reason that I have a 7970 right now is cause my GF gave it to me as a gift. I wasn't even planning to upgrade. I am willing to bet that at the start of the gen, OCed GTX460s and 560s will keep up with the consoles quite well if not trading blows.

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"][QUOTE="muscleserge"][QUOTE="JohnF111"]Cheap? :lol: How can people think that's cheap? "Oh good $99 off a phone with almost all the quality feel taken away".

I paid that for my Luma 920 at release, with 2 yr contract, and there is no way that this new cheepoPhone come even close to my 920, its bigger brothers can't touch it. Why do people even bother with Apple anymore.

Better ecosystem, less fragmentation (Note 2, HTC One, S3, etc still running 4.2.2 or less), superior software when it comes to smoothness and better apps.

Lumia is WP8. IMO WP8 is better than both IOS and Android.

:lol: Yeah clearly, so what exactly are the rebels going to do against Israel, who has a military that can kick the collective ass of the entire Middle East? And I am sorry but what? Genocide? Where was the outcry during Darfur and Rwanda? And I don't appreciate you insinuating that I am supporting either side of this.. Just pointing out the specific fact that these policy making has absolutely nothing to do with "saving lives"..

deeliman
So the "rebels" will just stop? What does Israel's military have anything to do with this? If the "rebels" carry out an attack, who is Israel going to fight? Syria? The "rebels" are already killing Christians, what do you think will happen to them if Assad falls? Darfur and Rwanda don't have the location that Syria has, nor its political ties. I didn't insinuate anything, just pointed out what you left off. Policy? Lives? I'm lost here.

Israel also conducted military strikes against Palestine for in response to terrorist attacks coming from that region, so an Israeli retaliation is not unfeasible.

Against whom? Assad? Civilians? Palestine isn't in civil war, and they have elected Hamas, I wouldn't compare the two.

[QUOTE="muscleserge"][QUOTE="whipassmt"] If the Assad regime falls or loses control over big portions of the country, the Christian Syrians could be in some big trouble (as well as the Alawites), it could be like what happened in Iraq but possibly worse because there might not be any ground forces. The Syrian army recently intervened in a village to stop Islamist rebels from going after the Christians there.

Putin has in the past stated that Russia would protect Christians throughout the world.

sSubZerOo

The whole Christian protection thing is from the days of the Russian Empire, and the third Rome idea. How far will the new Russia take this idea, idk, but interesting to see. Russia is protecting its interests against the interests of the Saudis, Qatar and NATO. Syria became an epicenter of this conflict. Qatar needs a pipeline through Syria, Saudis are supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Quada, and NATO needs Syria to get to Iran. Russia is protecting its gas market in the EU, as well as to prevent a surge of Islamic terrorists to its borders if Assad falls, the Russian patriarch asked Putin to help the Christians in Syria, who are mostly Orthodox, with roots from the North Caucuses. Some of them even speak Russian still while being 2nd and 3rd gen. Syrians. This is a brief overview of some driving forces behind the conflict. Its sad to see the US leadership be so eager to help the enemy though. Assad ain't no saint, but he kept the turmoil under wraps. If he falls, there will be something along the lines of genocide. With no foreign troops on the ground, the "rebels" will run wild. Israel and Christians will be the next victims.

[QUOTE="muscleserge"][QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]

:roll: Ah yes because this was the problem.. Not because they were killing their own civilians in large droves..

whipassmt

Allegedly, the results aren't even in yet, and there is equally as much if not more evidence to point to the rebels. The same rebels that eat human organs, slaughter children, destroy churches and monasteries, and the very same ones who already used chem. weapons just earlier this summer. The very same "rebels" that the Americans are fighting in the Middle East, the same "rebels" the Russians are fighting in the Caucus region. What do you think will happen to the 10% of Syrians who are christians if the "rebels" win?

All eye are now on the US Senate, Obama and Kerry. Although I would love to see what excuses they come up with now.

[QUOTE="deeliman"][QUOTE="muscleserge"][QUOTE="deeliman"] Has that letter been verified as real? If so, do you have a link?

What kind of proof do you need? CNN and Fox?

I don't watch Fox News or CNN, since they don't air in The Netherlands. It just doesn't read like an official letter to me. The US government verifying that they have received this letter would suffice I suppose.

http://news.sky.com/story/1137722/syrian-letter-pleads-with-us-not-to-attack Let me know if this is sufficient. It mentions who received the letter at the end. Plus its a credible source. Getting anything more formal would be very difficult since this letter is actively being suppressed from the MSM.
