if you like you can go with a 560 gtx instead, you can see how you like its stock performance, and if its not enough, you can oc it and get 570 performance out of it, another way to get the same performance and save money, if your res is lower then 1900 x 1200, then the 570 is too much anyways.

down the road you can add an intel ssd and setup is suppose to be like this:

HDD1 = fast small drive: os/apps/games

HDD2 = regular large drive: media/personal/work file storage

so in your case the ssd will be HDD1 and the 1TB will be pushed to HDD2.

The 1TB black caviar is chosen for its size and its also a fast HDD comparing to others, but you don't see the need then get a smaller drive for HDD2.

Be sure to post specs and pics once you get it.....mine has made it to STAGE 5 now......From what I heard from Robert in tech support that STAGE is the longest..

I suppose I can read game reviews and see what game will let me see what the machine can do once it gets here. Or ask for time off of work and go on a bender until the mailman comes.

Kinda made me think of a kid at the zoo poking an animal in the eye and saying "torture torture".

Thanks for the advice on the machine though.

You had to wait a year for your machine? You sir are a patient man.
