- 12 Months Labor for $63 more i got another yr so i did it ! i picked this p.c because i thought i had the parts to upgrade myself. i was happy with the nv 9800 gtx+ but i need a ati with a amd so i've been told thanks for your help i hate to have to return thing http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=5664112&sku=G180-4513&srkey=gateway%20dx-4300-19
