It's for gaming, so surround sound is necessary (I wanna give it a try in headset form) and also a mic is needed to be attached.
NIC's are a waste of money... and PhysX is pointless - have you even looked at the list of PhysX supported games?unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Give it a rest. If you were able to read, you'd see that I already have an older NV card lying around that could be used for one. $0 is $0, my friend. And yes, I've seen the list, and a ton of games I play or plan to play are on there, including Mafia 2, Metro 2033, Mirror's Edge, Sacred 2, GRAW2 and Arkham Asylum (and likely Arkham City). Why on earth would I buy two mid-high video cards when I could play with Physx (for awhile at least) for free?
The NIC's just opinion. I kind of look forward to tinkering with its Linux OS. $200 would be a turnoff, but $80 is a spit in the bucket when building a computer that goes over a grand.

You suck at posting, Finray. If I didn't need a GPU, why would I be asking for one? She does have onboard - it's shit.
Can't find a 4670 anywhere, and that 4350 apparently is worse than a 7600GT, so I'ma go for a GT 220.
Cheers, all.
I never said that's all she does
There's considerably more than 2,000 words worth of interesting WAN-related stuff to write about. If you're yawning, then you're doing it wrong.Camm wrote:

Tbh, you'd be better off ditching the NIC and the 9800 and getting a sound card instead..., thats my two cents.

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Intel Recalls Sandy Bridge chipset due to design flaw. Affects the 6-series chipset on the MB. Having to do with the SATA ports within the chipset degrading over time.
While desktops would be easier to replace, shit for laptop owners.

Wow...I was actually gonna consider a 2000K for my new rig but I guess not now
and AMD stocks just rose 4-5% with that announcement.
But the asshole I bought this from on ebay decided he wanted to charge extra on postage so I told him where to go and got a refund.
So I bought this instead.
*everything went better than expected
