    +1 Don't be scurred, and you won't be disappointed.

    Even the 6870 wouldn't be a bad choice. Get that and a decent CPU and you should be set for a while.

    :P


    @ Buzz: Dude, the 520 Watt power supply might be cutting it fine though..Not toooo sure if that will be fine, but in theory it should work. Maybe just try it out first to see it it works, but as soon as you start getting weird problems like not booting up etc, it's time for an upgrade.

    Upgrades can be painful, but it's necessary and needs to be done! That why I usually set some money aside, and when the time comes for an upgrade, I just buy everything at once. I don't want to sukkel with unforeseen things like not having a big enough PSU and stuff like that.

    GTX550 is a no no. Read the reviews. Buy the 460 or if your budget permits, the 560.

    On AMD's side, the 6850/6870 for under R2000 is nice options.

    Oh wait a minute....

    so u WERE teasing me, got my hopes up for nothing!

    you know, if it were my lifestyle i would have gotten it

    but last night it was revealed to me that clearly it isnt cause To0ken said over ts last night "that guy is flying k@k" in bfbc2, little did he know, it was me

    kind of ironic in that i spend R1200 on a peice of artwork that now sits and covers my right arm :P

    yet R3500 im finding hard to accept :P

    i guess im gonna have to think about this....wud be nice if i couldve gotten that card for R3100
