OoOOOoo!! just in time for the 1.04 diablo 3 patch that lets you keep leveling past 60


that video card isn't anything super badass, but its a good price... its got GDDR5, 1GB, and its a good GPU model.. the 128 bit width is the only thing I don't like 256 would be great but for the price you can't really bitch.

which ever one you can get the cheapest get it, cause this is also a solid card. model numbers be damned im pretty sure that asus is a notch above that powercolor, neck and neck but asus makes solid stuff and I actually have that card in my HTPC and now my CPU is holding the card back.

I'm obviously an asus fan, but I already ordered the other one.

Scary thing is are they stocking it for the same reason you are (not talking about leisure target shooting either).

Cancelled previous order, and bought this.

A little taste of what I bought. I skipped on the SSD for now, but I will probably pick one up later down the road. I decided to go with integrated audio too, because I don't really care about the audio. I wonder if my old sound card from like 8 years ago will still work?

Including Video card, it came out to be around ~$850

I actually bought this because I started school again this fall. I'll be needing a decent desktop for this.

They're scared of the price hikes on ammo from the up coming elections too? ;)

that will be a ripping machine though... the only boo boo you made was putting a 3.0G HD on a 6.0G Motherboard.

no biggie

You can hunt ebay for some pretty good deals, I watched a 6 core 3.4 go for 89 bux a few weeks ago.. WHOOPS!

I will be running multiple HDs eventually. I can just delegate that one to MP3/Movie drive down the road.

ok.... fuck... I bought another hard drive. It was bothering me. I guess, I'll use the other one as backup

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533

I forgot to get a heatsink, and fans...

Well... It comes with an oem heatsink, I may just wait, and get better one later. Also, I might be able to pull a case fan out of an old PC.

AMD's OEM heatsinks for those higher end processors are pretty O.K. apply some good paste and it should do fine until you can get a better one.

use the left over 3.0G for swap file duty, getting that off the main drive helps speed.

Famed cyclist Lance Armstrong faces the prospect of losing seven Tour de France titles and his fabled championship legacy after he ended his fight against charges of illegal doping.

Armstrong, who has consistently denied allegations of illegal doping, made his announcement to stop battling the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's "one-sided and unfair process"


Quote:
 

"If I thought for one moment that by participating in USADA's process, I could confront these allegations in a fair setting and -- once and for all -- put these charges to rest, I would jump at the chance," Armstrong said in a statement Thursday. "I refuse to participate in a process that is so one-sided and unfair."


sounds like hes just saying enough is enough fk off.
