I wish the Motul Civic was a premium. Such a beautiful car.

At first glance, I mis-took the restaurant name in the background for something else.. I was like :eek2: then I :lol:

:welcome:

^^ That does look good

I'm just gonna say :welcome: :cool:

Which 5850 would be better? Sapphire or XFX? lol sorry for all the questions. :cheeky: Kinda leaning towards the XFX.

So the GDDR5 for the GFX card is seperate than the DDR3 memory slot described in the MSI mobo description is for DDR3 memory sticks correct? Just trying to decipher what happened above. Why would I go with a 5850 if the 6790 seems to be a better card? I guess it's better not to pay attention to the 6790 being a higher number than 5850. (lol that's not what I've been doing but common sense would tell me that 6700 series is better than a 5800 series) ***confused*** You guys are the experts. :D

with or without bikes, I will still have problems consistently playing with friends. :(

I found this 6790 for $149.99.

Ahh. I guess that makes sense. I see a lot of Sapphire cards. I assume they are solid? It's such a hard decision y0

I've never understood the Sapphire, XFX, Visiontek thing.. Why does ATI not produce the majority of their own cards?

I agree with Tom. :oook:

Thanks for the info Ryzza. I've got a desktop that I no longer use that I have somewhat pulled apart before. I know what is what (for the most part lol) but this obviously is my first time from scratch. What about this PSU? It's on special, and it's a Thermaltake 750W. What about this Sapphire HD5830 graphics card? Found a Sapphire HD5770 as well.

I've never used an nVidia before. Only ATI. May take up on another one of your recommendations. :lol:

Yeah this GFX card I've got chosen had GDDR5 and is a 1GB. Just ordered this. Don't think I'll be needing light-scribe but whatever.

What would you recommend? Is it bad to go with a lot of wattage?

Good deal. I will probably go with that barebones and go from there. I'm guessing a 1GB gfx card is good enough for most games at decent to high settings yea?

Thanks for the recommendation on the PSU. I didn't even bother looking at the wattage for the mobo. Killadude, I looked at barebones and I must have missed that kit. I may actually go with that instead. Just go with the current selected gfx card and up the PSU like recommended. I'm glad it has an i5. I went with the amd because they were cheaper but I'd choose intel over AMD. Thanks so much guys! EDIT: I noticed that that barebones kit killadude has an intergated gfx chip. How do I remove one of those and install a proper card like the one I listed above?

Right?!

This shot looks real. Well done. Do you have a higher-res version pl0x?

Still won't fix the blatant disconnection and dropout issues.

I'd like to see the C6 GrandSport.

Cool! Thanks for sharing. May give it a try for TDU2 with my 360 controller.
