It has an amazing upgrade path. You can easily throw in an i5 3570k whenever you obtain the funds. However, for now, this can easily handle most games out there on ultra settings.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

yea with this is that price including all of the shipping prices as well? because i know some websites can really get you on the shipping prices

 

[DeusAres]

Some of it...yes. Others...no.

You'll need to go through the list and find which one ships for free. This list is merely for reference. You'll need to sift through it to find the best deals.

NCIX, Newegg, and Amazon are the main vendors you want to deal with. They ship most of their products for free. I think the only thing that was charged for shipping was the case.
