You'd be losing money if you DIDN'T buy it! The more you buy the more you save! In for 20 of them!

I'm going to also recommend going with a 7950, although a 7870 XT will be very similar in performance. Give and take.

I have a Toyota Corolla. It drives nicely and is pretty great on gas. I'm not sure how it holds up against other cars, but you can definitely find a newer one for under $10,000 and from the look of it it'd suit your needs nicely.

I've been doing Paleo since November of last year. I've lost about 30 pounds. It's pretty great if you're fine with the whole no dairy thing. You get used to it after about a week.

You're all douches. Why are you being so petty, OP?

Unless you have some spare parts you don't care about to do some swaps, I second (third, fourth, fifth?) going to a shop and finding out the problem. I really wouldn't recommend shooting in the dark and potentially damaging new components that you bought HOPING they were the culprits.

A GPU upgrade is probably due, but if it's not your biggest concern, then upgrade the other stuff first. You'll run into money eventually (I hope so for the sake of your precious games).

If you're taking it easy you should be fine, but it's definitely cutting it close. I'd personally tone something (probably the CPU) down.

I'd recommend buying a PSU that outright has all the connections available (native 4x 6+2pin pcie)

As I understand it, single cores hitting the same clocks as multi-cores would be better in multiple aspects, but would be difficult (impossible?) to currently produce.

If all you need is an overclock, Z68 is fine.

I'm also going to recommend exchanging your drivers. Make sure to try the newest beta drivers.

I guess I'm late to the party. I've been trying to find a sub $300 (even used!) for a while, but no dice.

Thanks OP, but I'd still prefer my Skydrive. To each their own, I guess.

Loud. Damn modem.
