OK - Decided I'm going to go the ultra cheap route. Considering the max rez I'll play any game on is limited by my 1680-1050 22" Hyundai, I'm getting this and will overclock the heck out of it. Using an old case and all my other peripherals including my trusted 4 y/o 400W PSU. I'm picking up a used HD4870 and away I go. Considering I'm more of an RTS guy and that I've been used to a P4 for the last ~3 years I'm sure I'll be duly impressed. Can't beat $202.48.
