    I think that $875 system i posted with the GTO2 modded to an x850 would run almost every game on great settings, and you could add $40 and get a 3500+, and spend $925+the case. And that would run any FPS with settings Maxed out. (correct me if im wrong)

    true, true that really is a better choice, and the cost about the same as an x800 xl, heres the link for one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102596 or you can always buy the FireBlade GTO although it mightnot be moddable to the x850

    yes i didnt realize that till i took a closer look, sorry about that. but if you look at that post that had the other specs you see it would cost $887 to buy one at normal price with the other parts i had listed, and if you already have XP it would cost only $800 or so

    well seeing as how im not really the most experianced person on these boards, we might want to see what some other people say regarding the PSU. That seasonic may verywell take care of his power needs, i just not sure if 430 watts is enough(even though it is a seasonic, you cant completly...

    Trashing my computer vs. new video card

    True, very true but as you know Antec is up there as one of the most respected PSU manufactures, and many people sware by antec, if i could afford a PC Power & Cooling or a SeaSonic i would, but for people on a bugdet who need a reliable PSU Antec is probably one of the Best PSU makers out...

    Trashing my computer vs. new video card

    well it is $100 for the 430 watt, and $130 for the 500 watt, for an SLI system i would suggest the Antec TruePower 550 or Enermax whisper 2 535 which are both SLI approved and retail for $90 USD Also are the normal GTOs built with the R480 core or jsut the GTO2s.

    Trashing my computer vs. new video card

    well sea sonics are some of the best around, but they also come at a very heafty price, and the x800 GTO2s cost about $270, there price was recently raised i think. And the SLI MoBo would be a rather wise upgrade if in the future you ever want a dual GPU system(as of now crossfire is very...

    Trashing my computer vs. new video card

    as for that rebate i showed you, it ends today, and the $100 rebate requires that you also purchase another cross fire edition x850 addition GPU in addition to that x850 so disregard that item.

    How much depreciation

    How much depreciation would a sapphire X800 XL that was bouht in August, no overclocking, would it sell for $200, $150, $100 or less(US dollars). Because i found an x850 XT PE that is $330 but with a $130 mail in rebate. I might be jumping the gun a little bit here, but i am considering maybe...
