Heck, I might get that for my new build that I am working on parts, currently. ASUS/ASUS Good price too and smokes the one I had picked out. I do not need to worry about how loud it is either because it is going in my wife's office.

I wanted to order today but still researching a couple of accessory devices. You know I have always been a Nvidia graphics card guy but have you noticed how the Radeons are just starting to almost dominate the market? Nvidia seems to be asleep at the wheel lately.

I am curious to what you think about this card on many levels and I am frankly not ready to make my major multi purchases order anyway. Remember, I suffer with ordering stuff. My therapist could tell you all about it but it would be wasting your time.
