ShadowFold · Dec 26, 2008, 01:57 AM

Looks awesome man.. Awaiting Phenom II huh?

Gilletter · Dec 26, 2008, 01:58 AM

nope, got what I could afford, and it's gotta last me for a few years

ShadowFold · Dec 26, 2008, 02:00 AM

Ah, ok. Still pretty nice tho. Should treat you well.

Gilletter · Dec 26, 2008, 02:03 AM

I sure hope so... I went with a 512 instead of a 1gb hope I don't regret it, but it allowed me to get the ram and the SATA burner with it as well

ShadowFold · Dec 26, 2008, 02:05 AM

Yea unless you got GTA4(which sucks) you don't NEED a 1gb. I am perfectly fine with 512mb at 1440x900 and 1920x1080.

no GTA 4 but I'm going to want to run crysis just to see, lol

Looks good/awesome card, and what are you doing with your old rig?

JC316 · Dec 26, 2008, 02:21 AM

Nice AMD rig. I would have waited for Phenom 2, but it's still good.

WarEagleAU · Dec 26, 2008, 02:21 AM

Damn very nice man and Im envious. I would have went with the MSI D9KAGX board though, if you were gonna go that route. I got the same Burner coming to me. It ships out of Edison, NJ.

BTW, I love that you had $410.00 in Giftcards. Where can I get that??

I love my current biostar, and have had no problems with it. Plus it was bundled with the processor for $30 off.

Parents gave me $200 for xmas, $150 for birthday, wifes aunt gave me $30 for both xmas and bday

kid41212003 · Dec 26, 2008, 02:31 AM

That card will be more more than enough, unless you upgrade your monitor

.

And Congratz!

kysg · Dec 26, 2008, 02:32 AM

It's a good system, I wouldn't say it would last years but it's a good setup.

1Kurgan1 · Dec 26, 2008, 03:30 AM

That will last years, he didnt say years playing at max settings. My friend was using his old Barton 2500+ and x850pro till this year and playing COD4 with it (above min settings) just fine and he built that comp like 5 years ago. Enjoy the 9850 and 4870, both good choices.

Not unless you plan on donating one to me, or trading for my XP or current system that's going to the FS/FT section once UPS shows up!

Gilletter · Dec 26, 2008, 04:37 PM

CPU dropped $12 overnight, lol ... Oh well, called the egg he said when it ships to call them and they will refund the difference

CDdude55 · Dec 26, 2008, 04:41 PM

Awesome stuffs.

mervin · Dec 27, 2008, 01:38 AM

1Kurgan1 · Dec 27, 2008, 01:48 AM
