Wow! You went all out... Thumbs Up Nice!

I was hoping you'd get the 3850, so I could get off you for a deep discount... Laughing

Hope you have a good enough PSU. My rig keeps dieing after about 20 minutes of playing Crysis. I'm not totally sure it's PSU related, but I decided it's time to upgrade from 550W to 1.1kW Smile.

Put in the order for this one last night but hasn't shipped out yet :-(

Awesome! I envy you because I really need a new video card.

A friend has a 7xxx PCI-E card that he will give me, but I don't have a PCI-E motherboard. Bang Head

Damn... $700 worth of goods from places Bigbruin has an affiliate deal with! I could have bought Hellfire a table dance in Vegas next week if you had used the links on here!

Yikes

Damn...I even meant to, but I was in a hurry when I placed both of my orders :-(. But come later this year, I'll be building a new system, once the new Intel architecture is around (the stuff to replace FSB). That'll be a good $4k lol.
