What gtx 260 ? By the time the end of October hits, the prices of vid cards should be down a bit and the 5850 will be out. A gtx 260 wouldn't do that resolution justice imo.

Yes that link for the G.Skill RAM linked to a combo...my mistake. But you should watch who you are calling an "idiot" on here or you may just find your account on this site banned. Is that clear ?

i am really scared, because a threat would be more of a ban than "idiot" . you know definition of "idiot"? . "A foolish or stupid person" know the situation now.

 

im glad i caught your "mistake" or the OP might of bought that gtx 260 and playing crysis with that on 2560x1600 would be amazing :D
anyways everybody makes mistakes its okay.

Yo thanks for the replies... though admittedly few related to the topic.

There is a reason why there is an approximate date of purchase. I just wanted ideas Overshocks. I figured it was pretty clear. If you didn't want to waste time, then don't worry about the thread. I'll renew the thread later in either case. Thanks for the initial build Why_me
