    Oh also if possible switch your SSD to a Vertex 3 or Crucial m4 128GB (much more reliable)

    off-topic... eww I missed the $130 sale on the Crucial, oh well I'm sure they'll drop again.

    Thanks for the input, any specific reason on why MSI GeForce GTX 570 1.25GB Video Card over GTX 570 GIGABYTE Super Overclock Series??

    Twin Frozr III (PE/OC) is just a beast cooling solution , recommended by a lot. Nothing wrong with the Giabyte card though.

    if it was me i would get the 560ti 448, or just spend the money on 7950 if it was planning on spending 370$ on an old card. when you are already spending nearly 400$ on a card it just seems to make more sense to go for it imo. the 448 core is suprisingly close to the 570 in performance.
