Only for guys that likes everything to max quality & super high resolution 30"+ monitor or multi-monitor setup , etc...

For the rest of people like me (~75-80%) a mid range card is good enough although i am gona buy another 6850 this coming spring & crossfire...:D

EDIT: BTW Welcome! to TPU :toast:

my buddy got on me about the mem....i got the cpu and mobo 1st and that mobo only takes ddr2 i think...it only listed ddr2. and i wasnt sure if ddr3 would work in it.

I oc cpu to 3.8 but no oc on card....it runs on balanced and my games on default which is high...

windows index on last system that i got from gateway...$1400.00 w/ rating of 4.5
My new build cheaper w/ rating of 6.9
and runs stable so im happy
