Yeah, I got it all in my saved list. I'm going to wait. Though I may by that cool red case as an ornament.
If i may also suggest get the z68 version the p67 is the one i have but you may want to get the upgraded one. you never know what useless crap they're gonna add later on and might as well be ready for it  . thing I love about my msi is the sound, it's just as good as a separate sound card that will cost you 1/2 as much as the mobo. this is what i got. it's out of stock and more than happy with it. but that is so 6 months ago . http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130574semp |

I agree, but some have a budget for toys. He's probably not just getting back to work like you are. |

lawndart is actually a billionaire who drives trucks as a hobby . ok j/k actually he saves his change to buy his toys. I do the same thing. I'll think about buying something till i save the money to buy it. it ook me 2 years to get the computer upgraded to where i want it . thing is patience and make sure you buy with the option to upgrade. last upgrade cost me about 200 bucks out of my pocket after selling my old parts. and I sold them for way less than what I bought them. but when i got my new parts i got them on sale and went to places like amazon for free shipping and no sales tax. that's where the long term thing comes in, you buy what you can afford but the money you can afford spend it wisely with the option to upgrade later if it ever comes to it. if you were to buy an e6400 right now it would get you a good puter that will play ah really good. but you wont be able to sell it to finance your future upgrade. well of course future upgrades depends on finding a buyer too. semp |

After 3+ years of being unemployed I'm a bit timid about spending anything. Yesterday was the first day I splurged a wee bit and bought a new computer chair. Most goes into the savings and to pay off bills. I'm satisfied with my progress so far. I'm going to post a short story on this in the O'Club. |

NewEgg sent me a flyer with an LG DVD drive for 15 or 16 bucks. I'm grabbing it.

Man, you must be holy friggen rich, 1300 bucks for video cards, when a 150 bucks one can run AH maxed out, and a 300 bucks one can give you 65-70% of the performace of the dual 580s (and also runs every existing game maxed out on 3 monitors...) |

Don't buy two video cards unless you absolutely have too, why? its a waste of money. I bought one Nvidia 580 and its more then enough to handle Aces high with a 30 inch moniter on full graphics.
No other game has dipped me below 60 FPS on full graphics either.

Thanks to Tom I decided to order all the other parts for the new build <Gulp>. Got that beautiful NZXT red phantom case. Tom is providing me with what I think is a very nice card and a power supply. In the end, not counting rebates I spent $612. Not bad I think. There are $40 worth of rebates and a $10 gift certificate. That VC card was holding me up. It just took me too far out of budget.
