    Budget gaming build to tide me over

    Decisions, decisions

I have been tearing down my current system getting ready for my next build and just being inside the 900 case makes my stomach turn. Antec totally sold me on the looks when the case first came out. I have one of the 1st gen with...

    A GTX 570 may be a bit out of range. So it looks like a HD 6870 Just curious... a GTX 470 wont cut it? Or is not recommended?

    Budget gaming build to tide me over

    Thats not a problem really, I can wait for the Dec. combos. I should have pulled the trigger on the Nov combos... There was a nice XFX PSU/Video card combo (had some MIR, but ill deal with that) and a nice $40 off on a AMD quad core/Asus Mobo combo. But waited too long ... and poof, gone...
