    Posted: 04 May 2009 at 2:24pm
Hi, could someone please review my configuration, ticket # 277121.
Im looking to spend around $2000, I want to play the latest games like gta 4. I have a 19 inch monitor so I play at 1280 x 1024 or maybe a little higher resolution, so I figured I dont need a top of the line PC to play new games. Thanks for any comments!

Yeah but i dont see how all of a sudden they can get a 920 stable at 4.0 or i suppose the extra $200 could just be the extra time it takes to tweak it to be stable. If they are willing it' something for the future possibly over the summer as it would require me to be without my rig for 3 weeks Ermm

ya the extra money is for the time spent getting it stable, however its just settings in the bios, so call them and see what they can do over the phone if you really want to that is, to be honest if I was in your shoes I would be happy with what ever OC I got cause if your PC is faster then 3.2Ghz and is stable, then you have won, cause you paid less money and are faster then a 965 at 3.2Ghz stock, which costs $1000 more then the processor you have but your processor is faster
