Installed my new GPU today, first ever major upgrade to my computer and WOW what a difference! It's like a whole new machine

Congratulations and you might want to blow the dust out of the CPU heat sink while you have it open. :)

I suggest rotating the picture or the computer 90 degrees clockwise.

Yes, I figure if I upgrade anything else a power supply upgrade will also be in store.

Funny, my 6870 was supposed to arrive today, well it did...and it was DOA.  :bhead Guess it wasn't a total disaster as I found out that it barely fits due to my heatsink which was barely half an inch to the side. Once I get the refund, I'm buying a 6850 single slot. Darn it, and I was looking forward so much for today.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

you dont "need" to put your vid card in the top PCI Express slot. Assuming you have an ATX board....
