pconlineshop often has lower advertised prices but they rip for freight and often wind up expensive .

 

Use www.pricespy.co.nz and once you have a list ask for quotes on the package from local outlets .

 

Well if 4890's are in the budget buy them , since they are more powerful .
But having said that most people will game just fine with a single 4890 on that resolution

 

You wont need an 850 watt psu . You will need a good quality 750 watt for a pair of 4890's

 

Soon intel i5 will be released , and AMD's 58XX gfx cards are almost with us . Wait a month if you can
