Nice budget build But..........
I wouldn't use that Mobo because the second PCi-e slot is x4 and if you upgraded to Crossfire you would suffer poor scaling and micro stutter.

I would go with this one and it only raises the price by $15 and would allow you to Crossfire at 8x 8x

Can't wait for Portal 2.
Can't wait for HL2 ep 3 either but at least Portal 2 has a release date.

Valve has become that hot girl that won't give it up on the first date and makes you wait, and wait, and wait.

First it should be experienced on the PC in FULL 1080p HD or higher at or over 60 fps across 3 screens for peripheral view.

Second using a Keyboard and Mouse for quick accuracy and precise movements but if you prefer controlers be my guess.

Third Some people like the Arcade feel, some like semi-real, some like Mil Sims so you can't say this is better than that because my gaming style is different from yours.

Mine would be

Well DICE has already mentioned that the updated Frostbite 2 engine has been stripped of it's DX9 code so only DX10 and DX11 graphics cards will work.

So like Bad Company 2 the PC version will be PC specific, technically not a PC exclusive but BF3 PC gets made first then they will port it to the consoles which is how it should be done.

I wish Killzone 2 and 3 were on the PC as they are the cream of the crop in console graphics along with Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 and pretty soon Uncharted 3. But......

Crysis PC isn't even the graphics king on PC anymore as Metro 2033 has taken over that spot. So consoles next gen need to catch Crysis first and maybe Metro 2033 the gen after that.....

But in 2012 Forged by Chaos will be released and crush both Crysis and Metro 2033, here take a l...

Who approved this bullcrap?

Seriously....
unless your comparing a PS3 or 360 game to the intense graphics of Killzone 2 Uncharted 2 or God of War 3 then it really doesn't matter what the game looks like because we all know what the PS3 is capable of and a crappy port just reflects the lack of quality of the developer and not the hardware.

Dead Space is a Third person Doom 3 clone sorta kinda.

I'm sure they are gonna turn it into Dead Space: Modern Warfare 2 but I wouldn't classify it as survival horror.

Either way it was a good game, just fix the dam camera.

I don't get excited for all these fake ass gaming girls on TV. They just act like they play games in hopes of getting a hosting gig on MTV or VH1. Actually they failed at getting a hosting Gig on MTV so G4 was all that was left.

If they really played games they would try to land a job at one of the major publishing or development studios. If you ever listen to them they all say the same crap...

Oh I play Halo, COD, hate Mario, I play Xbox xbox360 PS3 ...

PIRACY!! on a console! No way! this is unheard of!!
(PC gamer being sarcastic)

So now that Piracy has been fully established on
Wii-Xbox 360-PS3-Nintendo DS-PSP and Iphone

I guess these systems will no longer get games as it is not worth it since that's what YOU GUYS always say about PC gaming and it's Piracy.

I think all this Console vs. PC gaming Flaimbait will all come to an end when Dust 514 is released.

The brilliant minds of the PC gaming developer CCP is making a console FPS inside the Eve Online Universe which will effect the real-time events of both the consolers and PC gamers worlds. So far from what I know the PC gamers will fly the troop carriers and provide supplies for the consolers who will be on the planets fighting each other using guns, flying crafts, and attac...

I don't think the HD 6970 is gonna drop in price because when you see the Crossfire results you'll understand.

The GTx 570 was on my wish list but Hd 6970 crossfire benchmarks have changed that. I'm not gonna post the link of the site cause I don't trust that site but more benchmarks will be up tomorrow

I'm sooooo not excited for this trilogy because the last trilogy that got hyped up was ADVENT RISING and look how that turned out.

2018 Half Life 2 episode 3 may be out by then :)

I try to stay away from the PC Flaimbait articles but maybe I could educate someone looking to step up to PC gaming.

1. Get educated.
learn about the technology, architecture, and Hardware so you don't look like an Ass Clown posting comments on N4G when you don't know what your talking about.
The online PC community is friendly and always willing to answer questions. Learning how to "fine tune" a PC is like a mechanic fine tuning his car ...
