Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Thanks caw, for the heads up. I was able to grab one, last night. I had pre-ordered a 5850 with Amazon, but, I received a notice, that supply would not be met, until after Xmas. I can finally start my new build.

Thanks everyone, for your suggestions. I'm in the midst of reading through the General Hardware threads. I'm getting more familiar, with the various hardware configurations. The more I read, the more I learn. I'll make my decision, by next week. All your suggestions are much appreciated...
I guess I shouldn't have said "open budget". I certainly don't want to spend 2500, for my rig. So, how about $1200. Any other suggestions?? No monitor. Thanks ... Al
