    Ya actually. Really like it. I got it primarily because it looks nice but lacks any huge tron logo.

    I was about to say the same thing, my 8800gt couldn't run things on max, and the 9800 is just a nice little revision of the 8 series (in most ways). Most of the time I ran things on "medium" settings to keep that around 60 fps.

    He must be playing Mechwarrior 2 or something.

    Also, I'd just stick with a 2500k instead of the 2600k and save some money, you won't notice much performance increase going with the 2.6k instead of a 2.5k. Save ya, about 100$ maybe? Maybe $50.. can't remember prices.
