    	    <description><![CDATA[out of curiosity...

what made you go for amd over intel?
why did you choose a xfx card?

(concerning xfx, they had the worst rma handling i ever experienced in a decade of buyn/selling hardware. but that may be different for someone who only has just an hours drive to shit on some managers desk. avarage turnaround of 1 1/2 month is not acceptable from anywhere on the world.)]]></description>

As for graphics, just get whatever you can afford, there's no point going "zomg this one is best atm" - compare performance and get the best in your price range... personally I use a GTS 250 :P]]></description>

ATI is the way to go atm, unless you need the very best GPU (the GTX295 atm) but that'll prolly change when an X2 version of the new 58x0 series is launched.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[Ignoring the rage above.

Either save your money and wait to get an I5 to future proof, or get an AM3 rig, which is ofc a bit cheaper.

Either way, not worth upgrading to that, with the current tech situation, sure it's cheap, but you want future proofing so you dont feel a need to go upgrading in the future, so save up, and get something amazing!]]></description>
