since my 580 died and I RMA'd it I had some time to think. Instead of just putting my 580 in the new rig and robbing the power supply from my old rig also, I acquired a Corsair ax1200 power supply and just ordered an

I want to but it's overkill with a single display. I want to run 3 displays, but that means 3 new displays that match, and a new big a$$ desk. Which is all awesome and unaffordable.

Got my Classified today, sent the 680ftw back to newegg, it was defective! God I hope this rig is done for awhile.

Running solid at 1250 Mhz GPU 3402 Mhz mem, pushed my 3dmark11 score up to 10,234.



Stay Classy San Diego
