will it really be available in a few days?
and will it also be in the $450-500 range?
cause if not i cant either afford it, or wait for it.
Im visiting in the states for about 2 weeks, and its my chance to upgrade my rigg. :)

The r520 XT is what's to compete with the 7800GTX. It comes with a msrp of $599, and has been stated that it will ship a few weeks after the launch date (acording to INQ.), and the launch date should be taking place in the next week or so, but not sure.

If that's your price range then yes I'd suggest the 7800GTX. As to which brand I'd go with EVGA or BFG for the lifetime warranty.
