System Specs

I'm probably just going to buy a 7850 DCU2 at the end of the week and call it a day. EVGA hasn't even bothered contacting me yet after I sent a ticket 15 hours ago, and I want something that's cheap, runs cool and quiet in my home PC, so this card seems to fit the bill. My 460 before it blew up was so loud at 70c, it was ridiculous. Jr's cards will go straight into my farm and I'll just bring my quiet GTX 550Ti home until I get a new card. I can't see spending $420 for an effing GTX 670 that has no balls as far as computing ability goes. Sure, the games are smoother and the drivers are better, but I bet something will be out soon to quickly replace it.
