No problem, are you happy with the performance?

Better safe than sorry. How are you liking it? A Guy

i love the way it performs, it shreds through games. i cant wait to try it out on dragon age origins.

Yep - you're looking good to go there - enjoy :)

Wow, the guy in the link you posted really needs to read up on cable management! About your case mate, put a few quid aside each payday and buy yourself an aftermarket case, the eMachine cases are noisy & flow about as much as an impacted colon!

my cables are looking similar to his....for now. i am saving up for a new case. can you guys recommend one with good airflow?

Depends on how much you're looking to spend. Something like this,

Newegg.com - Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

would fit the bill.

this while i was playing Dead Space, i had settings on medium and the anti-aliasing was off. the resolution is at 1360x768 .

Mate, you've got nothing to worry about there... My GTX 275 in summer was idling at ~55 C, and was getting up to 85 degrees after 10 minutes of Crysis Warhead...

If it gets too hot to handle, crank up the GPU fan, you should be able to do this with any decent GPU Overclocking program, or the nVIDIA Control Panel.
