Why not cheap out a little on the processor and get a 5850? Way better than a 5770.

I chose the 965 because higher clock speed is better than more cores for gaming.
And i can OC a lot more because all the cores are unlocked (but iam not going too).

And the OC capability of the x6 is pretty solid too. Quote:

The next card up on 5770 is double the price, I'd have to cut a LOT to afford the 5850, eg. case, aftermarket heatsink, smaller HD, weaker PSU
Rather upgrade the video card later on when I need it.
Can't wait! Now to decide on a new game, getting bored of L4D2/the community for this game is dying.

Otherwise your build is already pretty barebone and can't cut much. Maybe get a hitachi deskstar HDD so you can get more storage space for the same price. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Posted via RS Mobile | yeah I will be gaming. I looked at benchmarks and 5770 is only better than 5750 by 7-10 fps.. I don't know if I want to pay like $30 more for it.

Had my order placed, price matched approved and product order verified (all items in stock) on the 26th.
Site says 1-3 business days to have the parts ready.
NCIX richmond is open saturday and sunday, but those two days don't count as business days though right.

How much was monitor? Would've went with a higher resolution monitor, the 5770 can handle 1920x1280
And since you have 1100 budget and it's still under that budget, upgrade to the x4 955/965, great for oc'ing, will give you great gaming performance. Posted via RS Mobile | |
