    Price Being Equal MSI R9 290 or EVGA GTX 780 a Coin Flip/Personal Choice?

    Thanks for the feedback Termie. I can actually get both for approx. the same price from Amazon based upon a 15% discount I can receive which puts them within ~$13 of each other after rebate.

    Price Being Equal MSI R9 290 or EVGA GTX 780 a Coin Flip/Personal Choice?

    If the price is equal on both of these cards does it come down to personal choice as far as which to purchase? Gaming at 1920 x 1080. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127774 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130918 I understand each has a handful of games they excel...

    Worth upgrading ? Or wait for SB?

    Thanks for the replies guys. Pretty much inline with what I was thinking. I'm going to suggest a GPU upgrade. HD 4890 or a GTX 460. With the new 6xxx series coming out this week the next couple weeks leading up to BF should be a great time hopefully for some GPU price breaks.

    I decided to pick one of these up and give it a go. I was suprised that it didn't come with a DVI cable. Only a VGA. Anyone get one with their monitor ?

    ***DETROIT RED WINGS - 2008 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS***

    I'm just glad I live in Metro Detroit and we pick up CBC for hockey. Anything would be better than a VS broadcast but CBC just makes them look sad. Totally night & day.

    Volvo sweet deal

    This import vs Big 3 debate on quality is pretty funny. Both sides are actually getting some of the facts right but are a bit off on others. Forget JD Powers, you can buy a rating from them if you want it bad enough. No Joke. Bottom line is that Big 3 quality IS indeed on par overall with...

    XFX 8800GT $179.99 - $30 Rebate = $150 + S/H

    The Rebate is indeed listed on the product page. Right below the add to cart button is the In Stock notice and directly below that is a hyperlink preceded by a big blue $ that says $30.00 mail in rebate. This shows up in IE7, haven't checked with other browsers.

    Jeep Commander 25+% off

    2 points here. 1. Chrysler has recently changed their 'friends and family' pricing. Very doubtful that you could save more with the 'control number' because they most probably wouldn't/couldn't give the extra discounts then. 2. Never in my life have I heard of a performance air filter...

    AGP POLL: X800XT AIW Vs X850PRO

    One of the best things about buying from buy.com or newegg is their shipping. Even if you order with only free shipping that says 5-7 days you will usually see it within a day or two. Sorry you lost out on your coupon but I thought there was also another $10 off $150 in computers/electronics...

    Upgrade 9600XT AGP to.......

    I'd probably go with the AIW. But I wouldn't trade in the 9600 Pro. Could probably find in trade forum a really old vid card to trade in. Doesn't matter make or age just something to trade in. Then sell 9600 Pro to recoup a few dollars.
