Hello. So i've put together a list of components for a new gaming pc, actually I've already ordered it and I'm having regrets :sweat:. I just took a look at the mid range build from november, and my system is very similiar. I am satisfied with my cpu choice, but I am considering sending back the 4850x2, and upgrading to a 4870x2 I'm just not sure if it's worth the extra 200$ and the effort of sending it back, so what do you guys think? Below are the rest of my specs, any criticism or changes I should make?

I think the 4850x2 will treat your 24" monitor nicely. You did not say what your uses are and if you plan to over clock.

OC? add a cooler. No OC? Go with 800mhz RAM

On track to have a very nice system.

4870x2 is overpriced for today's games. For tomorrow's games, buy tomorrow's value cards and save money all week.
