Sounds good, looks like I'll keep an eye out for a great deal on a GTX460, 6850, or 6870 since as you said, seems to be fine with Diablo 3, and it's good to hear about the i5 2400 as well since we'll have basically the same specs (except you have more ram). The biggest pull for the 6800...

Nothing, just impatient is all. Of course if I got the card, I might play something, but I don't currently own anything. There was a local store though that had an open box 6870 for $120, so that was my biggest reasoning for asking. And in case the GTX460 came back at $100AR.

Are there any features coming out with the 7-series that the 6 series lack?

Like this one, right? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133428 I was looking at the 1GB GTX460 if I went that route, but still undecided really. I think I'm over the 6850 though, and if I went AMD, it'd probably be for the 6870 (and it can run 3 monitors apparently).

(I know they're deactivated, but these are the cards I had in mind) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133428 vs http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102913 I saw the 8600gt is labeled LOW if I recall, I'm gaming on a 1680x1050 display (secondary...

Price. I've seen it for $100 AR, and based on the hierarchy charts I've seen, it places well up there. Seems to really be GTX460 (at $100AR) vs 6870 (at around $135AR) would be my only options outside of waiting, but not sure if (a) it's worth the increase in $ or (b) just wait until 2014 when...

Is it confirmed AMD is releasing their first set of cards Feb 15th? I've seen it on a few sites, the 7770 or something releasing Feb 15th?

Yeah, seems like the best idea in practice but I'm quite impatient. I've already upgraded everything else in anticipation (went from e6400 to i5 2400; 4gb to 8gb ram; etc) I saw a deal on a 6870 for ~140 after rebates, but I was eyeing the GTX460 that was recently $100AR. Seems current...

I'm currently on a 8600gt, however I'm looking at a new card for obvious reasons, but mostly for Diablo 3. I'm not currently planning or playing anything else, however it's possible in the future. Would waiting for Kepler/Pitcairn be worth it, or overkill? Should I opt for the GTX460, or pony up...

Yeah, the cable management thing is something new to me, I see slots to push it behind the tray, but do I just leave the cords I'm using in front? ie the cords from the front panel I see the three long slots along the outer parts of the tray, those are to hide the cords behind the tray for...

Yeah, I found the screws afterwards, in the HDD cage box. Not sure how those long screws would have fit though, unless it's suppose to go through the first hole and into the second hole into the case, as the fan suggested screwing it in backwards which was blocked. I just put it on the side of...

Figured it out, the front panel does come off, except the case maker put the screws slots wrong so the HDD cage covers the screw slots, side panel it is. And apparently neither the case or motherboard came with screws/spacers so I'm screwed there too, wish I knew how the case got 5 of 5 eggs.

Yeah, I figured maybe the HDD cage would be removed but I tried looking at the bottom (under the case) but there weren't any screws to remove it. And under the front cover is just a basic mesh like thing, so it doesn't appear to go there. It's really weird, no mentions of how in the instructions.

Regarding this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146061 Everywhere says you can install a front intake fan, however there's a hard drive cage blocking the front. Does anyone have this case and know how to install the front intake fan? Can't find it in their not...

Okay, my current PC (built in 2007) is restarting constantly, likely due to failing motherboard (I was able to switch the ram slots previously to cause it to stop rebooting) however all 4 ram slots cause a reboot now so, I'm considering upgrading ... Current PC specs are e6400, ATX board...
