I've got a feeling someone needs to talk some sense into me. The new rig is complete, save the GPU I planned to hold off on until next gen launches. But now I find myself wanting the complete package and not feeling gimped by this 4870.
I started out a few days ago looking at a 560Ti and within 2 days was eyeballing 570's and now tonight I find my finger perched on the order button of a 580 Lightning xTreme. Story of my life..hey 600 bucks, sure wish I could have gotten to know ya....
I can swing the cost, but have no doubt I'll likely regret it several months from now. I could really use some sound advice.
The BF3 beta really hit it home that I'm in for a tough few months if I wait. Other than that, Skyrim is the only other snag and I'm thinking that wont be that much of a compromise that I couldn't live with.
So here we are at BF3, go all in to get that awesome experience, suck it up with what I've got and wait, or find a middle ground. Hell, I got my ego saying DO IT! My bank account saying SERIOUSLY? And my logic saying EHYYYYYY.....what's the freakin' hurry?
Between all that, I'm wondering what you guys might have to say.....
