Additional Comments: This computer will be intended for streaming and recording within a gaming context. Graphical capability is secondary to the need (I assume) for a strong processing power. In addition to a HDD with at least 7,200 RPM. The cost of this card total that I paid before rebate ($177) can be subtracted from the total budget.
