96accord,
That's a huge jump in GPU power, enjoy and tell us how you like it when it's running.....like we really need to ask!

Yes it's a big jump. The 9800GTX+ played BC2 perfectly fine but once I tried to play the BF3 Beta it basically said FUUUUUUUUU to me and barely played it on low

I installed the GPU/PSU/Win7 64-bit on Friday Night late and did all the windows updates. Then installed BC2 on Saturday and played a few rounds Saturday Night/yesterday. Graphics looks better but BF3 will be the real test since the graphics in that game are WAY more intense than in BC2!!

yeah that is a HUGE leap forwards in graphics power, hope you enjoy it and have fun trying to push it to the max

Yeah. I wanted to play BF3 at least on medium/high setting. :) I got the GPU for like $250 after rebate and the PSU for $60/$70 after rebate

The MSi card is quiet and cool!

Here's my current build. Still working on it, plan to sli another 560 and add some cold cathodes and fans.

A very nice new GPU + PSU, 96accord. MSI in my opinion is great so you should have minimal troubles with it. I hope anyway. :)

Very nice build, Darkelk. Any reason for the upgrade to SLI? A 560Ti should be enough for most games, I would think.

Mainly because I can, I like to fiddle around and add new parts to my system. I would assume there would be benefits if I wished to sli 2 560's so I can game on max settings.
