I agree with maddog. Your CPU isn't capable of running GTA IV on decent settings. You might get it to work, but it will look bad and still lag. A decent quadcore and the 5770 you want to buy would be a good investment in lag-free gaming. With that package you'll be around 300 - 400€, if your PSU is capable of providing enough power. I'd suggest buying an Intel Q9550 (around 220€) and the 5770 you already suggested, or the XFX 5770 XXX, which is about 150€. That means a total of 370€ without a new PSU. Think of around 50€ more for a good PSU. Chances are you might need a new cooler for the quadcore, which would be another 20€ on top of that. It would be good if you checked your PSU and told us how much watts it supplies and what connectors it has. This will help deciding whether you need a new one or you can stick to your old one.

Nice pics but you should have tried to leave the character on in the Stirling Moss pics. Doesn't look real w/o driver. Anyways, I like the Superleggera, MP4 and R8 pics. +rep

Well, yes, this mainboard has the Overclocking functions for the CPU. GFX overclocking doesn't depend on your mainboard, you can use the tool "Rivatuner" for it. Asus might have a bad support depending on your country. Here, in Germany, it's really bad. So you might take a look on Gigabyte or something. That might be the better choice. Are you thinking of SLi? Then you'd need a board with a nForce chipset and minimum 2 graphics card slots. Edit: just took a look at it. There are quite a few boards out there for less than 90€ with that "fancy-dancy" heatpipe cooling. But the choice depends on your future plans, SLi or not etc. You might even upgrade on DDR3, but that would be a little too pricy.

Oops, you should correct "Shy Guys" name as somebody could go mad :cheeky: other than that mentioned: awesome pics!

Reventon pics are stunning! Good work.

It's the Wiesmann. If I win, somebody post a picture, I'm too lazy :lol:

Awesome R8 shots you got there. Like the last one, although a bit too dark.
