oh no, I have the exact same dilemma as you (good upgrade path, don't care about SLI) and have the exact same solution too. However, I chose the Biostar 570 over the 550 because the pricing isn't that much more.

Ahhhh, nice.

Yeah, my decision was purely economical.

I couldn't be happier with my decision, although I've yet to try and OC.
And when my heatsink arrives, my 5000 will no longer overheat to 61+
at game load.

By the way, TF2 thread, what maps do you all plan on playing when the
match goes down?

TDM? CTF? CP?

Custom maps?

I was testing my trigger finger out today, and yep, still working =)

FYI: Unbundled TF2 on sale at Circuit City for $19.99, starting Wednesday. Link

I'm gonna price-match at my local Best Buy, which is much closer.

I haven't played TF2 in forever, but an all AT game night would bring me back :)

So do we want to vote before Friday on which maps to have on, or should we just start with Dustbowl & Gravel Pit, then RTV from there if we want to change things up?

How about everything but Granary and Well :p (unless they improved those in the last few months)

I actually played Cargo for the fist time yesterday and thought it was great, but the best bet is probably to stick with Dustbowl and GP, then go from there.

Well if this Friday has a decent turnout I'm sure we will do another one. Shame you can't make it though.

I haven't played TF2 in a long time, but I will probably fire it up for this.

Actually, I should play sometime this week so I don't totally suck on Friday night.

My Steam name is juan626

Well you could always just play a noob class and I'm sure you'll be fine, that's what I do. :D

I may hop on... be warned that I suck horribly at TF2, being as I almost never play it. And when I do, I never stick to the same class.

No problem at all, the more the merrier. What's your Steam name?

One of my RAM modules failed when I got home from work. :(

I've already got the RMA rolling from newegg and I'll send the memory back tomorrow, but I'll be without a PC until I get my memory back (possibly a week or so). :(

I'll see if I can borrow any from a co-worker, it won't be as fast as the RAM I have now, but it'll do for the time being.

Hoping to be able to play. I'm on a self imposed CoD4 vacation due to elbow tendinitis, but I should be healed up and fine for some TF2 lubbin'. Steam name - WalkinTarget

PS - I like to find a gutsy medic and play Pyro. Uber'd Pyro is a death dealing machine !
