I would go for a GTS 450 from the ones you listed or the 5770, but the one ZD posted is better.

Not too sure about ATI but I read/heard that the 5770 is a good card price wise. Not too on the GTX, you could type in google gtx 285 vs gtx 460 or something and see what people way.

I'm not to sure about that. My FPS goes nuts. 100 is usually the minimum and I've seen around 300 but I have fairy high graphic settings at 1080p. The GTS 450 or the GTX 460 will be way better.

I use a GTS 250 and I get at least 100 FPS on maps which is good enough for me. Plus, I linked that one because it was $99.99 after rebate. Heres a GTX 460 that is $119.99 after rebate. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130591

Maybe the server max should be 10 people. Lol, just kidding... or am I?

Should rates be regulated? I usually check ma_rates when I die to a person lagging and their rates are usually 25000/30/20 instead of the recommended.

Try safe mode with networking and run a full scan of Malwarebytes or restore it to a day without the problem. You could post a log of highjackthis, but I have only small knowledge of reading them but someone else here could read it.

Dead Nation is pretty much Alien Swarm for PS3. Super Stardust HD is a enhanced remake/sequel of Stardust but it really is Asteroids on crack. Wipeout HD is similar but it and looks like F-Zero from the SNES days.

Once the PSN store is back up. Everyone one gets two free downloads out of five PS3 games or four PSP games and other features such as 30 days of PSN+ for new members. Free is free can't complain PS3 Dead Nation inFAMOUS LittleBigPlanet Super Stardust HD Wipeout HD + Fury PSP LittleBigPlanet (PSP) ModNation Racers Pursuit Force Killzone Liberation I think I'll get Super Stardust HD and LittleBigPlanet/Wipeout HD + Fury

Since my current PC overheats constantly. I couldn't take it anymore and upgraded to a HAF 922 with Antec EarthWatts 650W. I will use these two parts when I do start the new PC too GPU 60C idle to 40C idle!

Wouldn't mind having a pair myself

I ended up buying a Das Silent S. Typing with it now, I need to get used to this feel

Supposedly the PSN database is for sale with about 2.2 million credit cards. Could be a coincidence but the day PSN went down is also the day my battle.net account was hacked.

Thanks for all the tips and opinions guys but I'm going to put this on hold for the moment.

I guess I could use my PS3 to watch blu-rays. I was talking about my boss and he doesn't like the design of SSDs because they have to follow the shape and size of HDDs but understand why they do. He also told me something about wipe commands not wiping the drive.

Could the power supply handle a GTX 460/560 with a GTS 250 for PhysX? I have a spare GT 9500 too. What about you guys opinions on other things like SDDs, after market coolers, BD drives and etc?

Hm, OK GTX 560 is a strong option then. So for the K series, you just need to up the multiplier? There was one guy on campus who told me he got 5Ghz on air cooling but I didn't believe him. If that is the case 2500K definitely the CPU to go. Keep in mind I'm not 100% sure on building a new PC.

I might use the second slot for PhysX. If that ram is designed for the P67 might we well use it then. I didn't pick the unlocked verison because I do not know much about overclocking and I assumed it will shorten the life span. I might though it is an option but turbo boost should be enough. I will add your suggestions. There are a couble things I look for in a case. Bottom mount PSU and sideways HDD rack. I know the case in my list is way too expensive. I also spoke with Mookie and San, I'll update the list with the suggested cases. I'm not too sure on 8 GBs of ram, yet. I thought the GTX 560 was a re-branded GTX 460 similar to the 9800+ GTX and GTS 250.

I've been wanting to build a new pc the week I finished mine 2 years ago and I think I could have done better. So here is what I'm looking at so far. ASUS P8P67 LE Intel Core i5-2500 or Intel Core i5-2500K EVGA GeForce GTX 460 or EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti Seasonic SS-560KM 560W 80Plus Gold Certified G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 to G.SKILL Ripjaws X 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 or CORSAIR 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600 COOLER MASTER HAF 932 or HEC Blitz or Antec 300 or LIAN LI Lancool I already have spare HDD, keyboard, mouse and monitor. Updating my current PC is also an option, I should have posted it. Asus P5QC Intel Q9300 GT 9500 GTS 250 Crucial 2 x 2 GB DDR2 800 I don't want to spend over $1000 and this build is just too see if I should really buy or not. The opinions just help me I don't have the pleasure of buying online but I know someone who can if I pay them a little extra for the troubles. Thanks in advance!

Haha, I like the way you think. Most likely during the week of release CheapAssGamers should have posted plenty of deals. I think the amazon one is the best one so far.

I don't think it will work like that. You have to link your PSN and Steam accounts to get redeem codes for PC and Mac versions, so I think they are tied to your account once that is done. You could just let a friend play the PS3 version since there is cross platform play or maybe it will be possible to gift the Mac version since not everyone owns PS3, PC and Mac simultaneously.

Anyone else interested? I myself will get the PS3 version because it comes with a free copy for PC and Mac, as well. Plus steamworks will be integrated with the PS3 and you can play, save and chat across platforms!

I've been using a generic Dell keyboard as well. I understand it is hard to justify $100+ for a keyboard too. That's why I am so reluctant to buy one. In certain games that I want to get into again, responsive keys are important, I understand it won't make me a better player though. The one that amertrash recommended might be the one I get though. Due to the N-key rollover and mechanical switches.

Now, that's my kind of keyboard! Thanks, I'll look into it.
