Processor: i5 760
Mother Board: Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 1156 ATX
Video Card: EVGA GTX 465 1GB.
Ram: Corsair 4gb xms3 ddr3 1600
Power: Corsair 750w atx 80 plus psu
HDD: Hitachsto 1 TB 3.5" Sata 7200 RPM.
Windows 7 pro 64.
21" 1680 1050 monitor.

With tax title and rebates total cost less than $1000.00 (Had the monitor and OS)

I hooked it up to my 42 inch 1080p tv and played starcraft II on Ultra 1900x1200 resolution and had zero slow down. The processor and video card temps never got over 72c (not sure if that is good) after 3 hours of play.

Comments and criticism would be appreciated thanks.
 
Yeah, hopefully you got a killer combo deal on that 465. Othewise, it costs more than a 460 and performs worse. Is it too late to return it?
 
Well lately you can pick up a 465 for about the same price as the 768MB 460s with the right deals. It's got it's place, albeit a small one.
 
Pretty good job, except that 465 everything looks good. What are you playing on it?

EDIT: That PSU is a tad over-powerful, a 650W 80+ would have done you justice.
 
I got the 465 because microcenter was out of stock on the 460. I needed a computer and it would do in a pinch. The res i played on was the 1920 x 1080 just couldn't remember the exact resolution off of the top of my head. I have only played starcraft II on it. It looked fantastic on the 42 inch. I could probably still return the because I think it is a 30 day return policy but i have to drive an hour to return it. I think whatever savings and performance gain is not really worth the hassle. That is unless I hear it is a real big difference.

Depending on how much you paid, there could be a difference. The 460 is faster and cheaper and the 470 from an online vendor could easily be much faster and the same price. The 465 is a super cut down GTX 480 and just does not deliver performance in line with its heat and power draw.
