    Definitely upgrade to the evga GTX770. Nvidia just released the gtx 780ti and dropped the price of the 770 down to $329(or something close) from $400. I have one and i run Bf3 like a dream on ultra. Hoping to play bf4 tonight if i can preload it fast enough!

    some neat things to fill up drive bays?

    I recently bought a CM Storm Stryker (beautiful case btw) but it has more drive bays than I know what to do with. I have an optical drive, temperature gauge and.... thats it. If it can fit in a 5.25" drive bay, I want it.

    I'm not sure if I'm missing something here or not, but why do people care whether games are "exclusive" to a system or not? The only reason I can think of is so Xbox fanboys can go, "HA U CANT PLAY HALO ON A PS3, XBOX IS SOOOOO MUCH BETTER." or vice-versa. Again, sorry for my ignorance.
