im looking at about 17 for my next machine. that's what i spent on my current machine but that was like 5 yrs ago :/



btw c-roc what's the specs on your machine ect. & did you build it?
im trying to find a decent build your own dual vid card set up. Before you ask , yes i worked in it, ut i wrote software and at this point know little to syrupy squirrel shit about hardware..

The harddrivges are unstable last I heard. stick with the stuff below 1tb and use multipul drives.

Unless you're going to be gaming on a 42 inch HDTV, two 295's is in fact overkill. The ram is slight overkill as well, but, as 4 gigs becomes common and 8 the real mans number, 12 is suitable.

If it were me, I'd get 6 gigs of ram, one 295, and a nice new monitor to go with.
