I decided i wanted 3D. so i ordered a 3d monitor. then i realized i needed a better graphics card than a 9600gt so i researched into nvidia graphics cards. Found that my processor would bottleneck the GTX 4** series. So i decided i needed a new system. I started looking at a i5 2500k with GTX 560 ti. And then found out for 200 pound more i could get a i5 2500k with GTX 680 and then fifty quid more and get myself a 2tb harddrive with windows and a 3570k chip. So i went from spending 360 quid to about 1400 quid. I think the prices are designed to do this. But i will have a fresh system for mechwarrior!

I also have a 680 GTX not had much time to play with it as of lately but i know battlefield 3 will run at no less than 60 FPS on max settings. It is well worth it if you hve the $$$ to pick one up.

I love my GTX 680. It runs my primary monitor only at 2560x1600 and is buttery smooth at highest settings in most games.
