    If you could see the shitbox I am running right now, you'd be very impressed with my ability to rig something up. It's pretty sad, but the old bitch keeps chugging along, desperately need to do a build in the spring.

    Any suggestion on which build to get? ASUS, EVGA, etc.

    Do you mean for your card? You can't go wrong with Evga. My card is a MSI but I know Evga typically has the best customer service.

    i've only used EVGA over the years so i can't comment on any other brand. I've never had an issue with any card

    i bought an EVGA 660ti yesterday on newegg... a refurb for $260. It might still be available.

    from my research in the past few weeks... looks like NVidia is better for some games, Radeon is better for other games. I plan on playing BF3, and NVidia is the clear winner for that.

    660ti vs. 670 seems to be a matter of which screen res you want to be running. 660ti won't run 2560x1600 nearly as well as the 670 will.

    I think there is only about 5% difference in performance from the 660ti to the 670.

    yeah i was going to wait on reviews, but since that deal popped up, and a few of my friends got the game (4 player co-op), i figured I would just buy it.

    Also, haven't played Skyrim in months, so I don't know much about the mods these days.

    I keep having this problem with Skyrim where if I'm inside a building or a cave, basically close quarters, my mouse movement is really jagged and stuttering it looks like lag. Outside i'm pushing like 50 fps so it makes no sense and it's making the game virtually unplayable. Has anybody had this problem?

    I think an armor mod, and other inconsequential mods. I think I might just re-install.

    I still play it a lot on PS3. I didn't have a PC when it was released. Plus I have a lot of friends that play on PS3.

    If I catch it on sale again on Origin I will get it.

    How's the air flow in the case, seeing mixed opinions. I'm not going to SLI right now, so it might be a non-issue.

    I ordered everything, now worried how I'll keep it cool and make the air flow.
