GPU....I'd rethink the 5830 and just go for the 5850 if you can find them.

Yeah I was looking at the 5850 but they are a good $120 more which adds up to $240 more for the pair.

I will just be doing the occasional gaming. Going to have to toss the idea around in my head for awhile. Just hate to drop $600 something just for them to drop a new card on me in October or so. Won't be doing any PC gaming until the end of the year anyways as there isn't anything out I want to play now. Prolly just rock the old school 2400 or was it 2600Xt and see what comes out in a few months or pick up another cheap GTX460.
