Re: Build new computer, need help

Id drop the 1900 and get a G80 the price difference is not that much when you are spending silly money and the performance difference will be worth it.

Re: Build new computer, need help

Yeah I know loll. I'm rich !! :P

Re: Build new computer, need help

If you go for the G80...well, it's up to you...but you could just stick with this and then upgrade to DX10 with the release of Vista.
