nice system.

Except the case, you have a hell of a system giving a hell of alot of heat.

I suggest looking into the Thermaletake Armor series or i think its the antec 900

Both are great.

I can always add some cooling later on that's no big issue. I was going to get the gigbyte 3D aurora initially, but changed my mind at the store. That's one thing I should have done a little bit more resrach on. I might do liquid cooling after a bit, but right now I jsut want that computer. I'm really annoyed cuz I was just selected for the closed Beta for WAR, but my other computer is Bricked. (I could have cried whenI saw that Email) At least I can read how some of the things work and what they are doing, but ATM until I get the rig I can't be directly involved. :~(

Well, from what I hear this vid card blows the tits off any card out currently So that's why I went for it,and I've heard the combo of inten and Crossfire is the best choice atm for what I am wanting. I don't think Either Fail. I just want the most current and the best. In another ten days I"m sure something else will come out that smokes the card I got. It's the nature of the gaming industry. Things change. Oh well.  I will take a picture of me and this computer  just after opening it....alla Abby from NCIS.

lol I think I have a habit of stoking the controvercial fires in people when it comes topics regarding processors, and vid cards. There always seems to be a debate. Then again I did ask good or bad, it seems this time however ATI has more followers than Nvidia. I had Nvidia in the past and I liked it, but that was a year and a half ago when I was playing COV and COH. It was good for then, but hew I like trying new foods, why not Video cards.
