thanks man : )
I also got Battlefield 3 for $4, Company of heroes 2 for 20$, Bioshock Infinite + 2 + 1 for $15, Batman Arkham Origins + Assassin's Creed Black Flag + Splinter Cell Blacklist for free with GTX 780.

Missed the deal for BF4 (was available for $20 using some mc-donalds + origin shenanigans ) will wait till christmas for BF4 and ghosts.

The price above includes $ 50 in rebate which I will file today. Also, I got $50 gift card for iron egg price guarantee because new egg reduced the price on 3rd december (would't have got if they did on cyber monday) I bought it for $170.

I did the stupid mistake of installing the 32 bit Windows 7, so have to go back and install windows 8.1 Pro after work today.

Was still waiting for the hard disk so salvaged one from my main office.
