Quick comments...For gaming I will mostly play COD, RE5, Far cry 2, and the games I am waiting for are Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3, not exactly games that really require alot. Now later down the line I can always crossfire another HD 5770 for more performance if I need it. My issue is bearing that I only will play these games and mostly watch movies or connect my 360, will be doing no editing, graphic design or anything, should I change cpus to save money? (Perhaps a AMD Phenom II X3?,). If i could bring it down to 800-900 that would be unbelievable.(also why I am willing to wait to black friday). Any adjustments that you would make is greatly appreciative!
