    gpu swap

    Yah, I've been looking at both the 670 and the 7970, although the 7950 seems to perform almost as well as the 7970, and is looking to be around 120 cheaper. Though choice that. Hopefully a steal on pops up somewhere. I've never actually sli'd/crossfired before. Whats all this talk of hassle?

    What would you guys think about dualing the 5870 instead? They're going for around 160 on ebay

    Do you know if that is triple or dual sli for that benchmark? He wants 100 a piece, they are fan modded so they pull from the top instead of the side. Kinda figured that at the price and selling my 5870, i might as well buy a gtx470 or something.

    gpu swap

    so my buddy called me the other day saying he was cleaning out some of his inventory. He's getting rid of 3 nvidia gtx 465s that i would tri-sli. I currently am using a single radeon 5870. While I know the 5870 beats ths 470 head to head, does a 470x3 gain alot over the 5870?

    Gaming Rig for My cousin

    so, tigerdirect has this 3570k for $199 for the next 48hrs. I feel like I should have my cousin pick it up since its only 10 more than the 3470. I know that you may not necessarily get the money for your forum. But for the one item it shouldn't hurt so bad. There is also some pretty good deals...

    Oh I'm sorry, I thought that was answered in the survery. The monitor is not to be included in the budget and will be purchased separately. the 1500 is for the tower and anything doing inside of it. No peripherals

    That seems to be soild. Missing a computer case, and I would probably swap a few things. Danny, any thoughts on your end? Also, I know windows 8 is cheaper, but I don't know much about it. Is it the smarter purchase?

    Gaming Rig for My cousin

    Yes I think so. Also, I don't think 1500 includes shipping as part of the price, so ignore shipping cost unless i find out otherwise
