Tiger Direct.
I live in Los Angeles, so Newegg charges me tax. They also have a 10% cashback with paypal deal today and tomorrow, so I'd be getting the 5850 at .25% off, and no bing. I don't know about $280 or however much, but at $308 I don't think the 5850 is worth it. I mean, yeah I can afford it, but that argument is terrible, I can afford a GTX 295 but I'm not going to buy one because shit is overpriced. Matter of principle, you know?
Plus, with one 4890 going for $145, I can't justify it. Thanks to your logic, I can't even justify buying a 5850 at $280, I'd be paying nearly twice as much for a 20-25% increase in performance, which would be great but at my resolution the 4890 hits 60+ FPS in most games just fine, even with AA on.
And with it at that price, I'm pretty sure it's impossible to feel any sort of buyer's remorse.
