	one other thing, this computers going to be able to run my ofp2 when its released in 09? im a huge ofp junkie, i just want to ensure i have something thats going to take most demanding games and play them with ease, the best cpu ive yet to own is a duo 2.8ghz that likes to heat up way to much, and i never had a top of the line graphics card either, so i dont know what to expect with all this, Edited by Yellowink - 25 Oct 2008 at 12:29am

	with the HAF, liquid cooling and your setup, heat should be no issue for you. do you know system requirements for ofp2?

	from what i found on google, i guess its too early to tell what the sys reqs will be, i dont think itll be as demanding as crysis, but none the less id like for my pc to be able to blaze through crysis warhead with max settings, just to give you an idea, i like all the eye candy i can get from a game

	well like I said, if you don't like what you get with one 260 gtx, you can always add another, and by that time the price will be lower too
