Unfortunately, the link you provided Bopa, is to our own, personal NewEgg accounts. It doesn't link to yours, and you wouldn't want it to. Then we could change your address, view your CC info, etc.

Maybe you could sketch out the parts the old-fashioned way?

This is the only component that jumps out and makes me say "Hmmmm." It's rarely a good idea to buy the very highest of the high-end. The price/performance ratio is all out of whack. This card is listing on NewEgg for $505 right now, which is just too darn much, especially when you can get a 285 for $385, a 4870 for $265, or a 4850x2 for $340. You're paying a $150–$250 premium to get the absolute latest and greatest, when the other cards I mentioned are probably quite close in speed.

Hey, it's your dough, so do what makes you feel good. But I recommend you consider carefully before dishing out for absolute platinum-plated top-end gear.

That was the card I was thinking of, but then this Card came cheaper than normal in a combo deal with the case.

To be honest I just clicked yes without reading up on it, it seemed a decent deal, have you heard any first hand info on it? Or played with it? Thanks for the info regarding the pricing structure though, I will remember it.

I was also worried about the case, would it be better to splash out on a brand new yet pricey case to keep it cool?
