On the same day. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NYSE:AMD) closes down Linux research centre in Germany http://themarketsareopen.blogspot.com/2012/11/amd-advanced-micro-devices-inc-nyseamd.html

applegetsmelaidTablets changed my life! If it weren't for the iPad I would still be a virgin. I lol'd at this. Many have had similar experiences, a corvette :) ? Ipad II starting at 500 dollars is a game changer for many withe expendable income. With its dual cameras, the video chat feature is...

Absolutely not. The 1gb ram in 99% of the games at any amount of 'playable' AA levels is not a bottleneck. You can look up gtx 460~768 SLI that performs well in most games at 1080P. 99% of them. Except in Metro 2033 at some AA levels and Crysis at some levels, settings @1080p. edit: Now...

GtX 580 - Fermi 100/110 is a huge /complex chip. It has a lot of extra hardware to get that extra 15% out 40nm. 48 ROP"s and a 384mb memory interface, an area of the gpu thats probably not a major bottleneck in other gpu's but its part of the edge

Here is a great example of what you have concluded. Dirt 2 CPU benchmarks with DirectX 9 and DirectX 11: Phenom doing well, quad-cores rule http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,700780/Dirt-2-CPU-benchmarks-with-DirectX-9-and-DirectX-11-Phenom-doing-well-quad-cores-rule/Practice/

I'm more impressed with the Vapor chamber coolers on the reference style 580/570, they obviously work excellent. Vapor chambers aren't used very often because they add expense to the card.

Have you considered Cyberpowerpc ? You can choose your components to the quality/performance level you want. http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/category/intel_pc/ http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1CY3DQ

I would put the 550 psu you ordered in and a gtx 460. If you can wait a couple weeks, the gtx 560 is coming out and will be more powerful. The gtx 295 is a older dual gpu card, that does not support blu ray 3d. A card like the gtx 560 single gpu will be as powerful as the gtx 295 was. Its...

Agreed, its a hot looking design. Looks like the bottom section of a hover craft, a high speed one. lol

Are you serious ? Anything under 80 is normal. http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-geforce-gtx-460-us.html maximum gpu temperature is 104c Its a high performance gpu that can pull 160 - 200 watts of power.

Where did you buy the cpu ? That will help answer some unknowns.

Its more than 10%, for the 2600K, thats compared to the i7 920 http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/Intel_i7_2600K_i5_2500K/12.html

There is also a single slot gtx 460 that will rule them all as far as single slot cards go. Its expensive. It uses a copper vapor chamber. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162072&cm_re=galaxy_gtx_460-_-14-162-072-_-Product
