My KRP-500M plasma TV put off more heat than two of my friend's 3008wfp combined, I have to mount 3 low RPM fans behind the TV...:D

It's probably better to just wait for BF3 to come out, and then either get the new GTX 600 series or buy a GTX 570/580 for cheap.

I'd say around $350 but maybe $400 when it just came out....

The 710 is pretty interesting

I really don't think it's worth it to upgrade the laptop GPUs. From what I have seen, the laptop GPUs are very very expensive, maybe $400 or 500+ for a relatively dated laptop GPU. Probably better to sell the laptop and buy a new one.

2600K for now. Also, you probably won't see any difference between 2600K and 970 even if the game can use 6 cores.

I think the 560 is powerful enough for what you do, and the upgrades you listed are not really worth it.

very nice bench case, the build quality is probably better than any consumer level case I have seen.

Anything that's cheap and got a good cooler, most companies won't BS you on RMA/warranty. I got a Galaxy 480 and it went bad a few months later, RMAed it and received my new card within a few days.

Great card, but I don't like the color of the cooler

I know some of the GTX 570s are around $300 so if you can find one I would go with the 570. I have a MSI reference 570 right now and it's 1.2GB is enough for most if not all of my games at 1920x1200 high setting.,

It's been a long time since they stopped shipping these last time and I almost forgot about the CR48

Single 570 or 6970 will be enough

How about an used 5870? or even two used 5850s..

I have 6850 CF with i7 920, and I get well over 60fps in BFBC2. 1920x1200. All high However I do recommend GTX460 1GB SLI over 6850, only because 6850's drivers sucks.
