Very nice Derrick. I'd save up for the new generation of 3GB video cards that are coming out.. but by the time they get to a decent price range you'd be able to sell the existing 2gb card for pretty good $$$ and recoup most of the difference.

OR SLI it!

Here's what I'm running:

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4
Memory: 2x 4GB Samsung M379B5273DH0-YK0 1600Mhz (9-10-10-27 @ 1.3v)
Storage: Too much to list. No SSD. Did that once.. It broke. Replacement SSD in laptop.
Video Card: XFX Raedon HD 5850 1GB (standing the test of time.... outperforming 7850)
Optical Drive: LG something-or-other
Case: Corsair 500R (white)
Power Supply: Corsair HX850
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

using some Apevia 140mm fans, have a Cougar orange/black fan of some type on the CPU cooler.. much quieter improvement over whatever came with it..
currently messing around with Guild Wars 2, War Thunder, and well.. actually I have like zero time for games.. lol

nice clean build you have! Can't believe nothing is more bang-for-the-buck than the Hyper212... I mean.. its soo OLD.. but still the best b-f-t-b out there!

after reading this.. we should get a Cigar Asylum World-of-Tanks team or something together ha
