Yeah 25ms is actually quite poor

i've found some, could you recommend some brands?

Save your money, the 6800GT is significantly more value to it

i have a question for you

i'm buying this case now - http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...144-084&depa=1

it has 3 fans, would i still have to buy other fans? (mostly for my cpu)

and this PSU has 28A max? good enough?

Youre looking at the wrong rail, the 12v rail only has 20A!!

1. Thats a different PSU than the one that comes with the case
2. Third time: read up on the PSU 101 (then you can make your own informed decisions)
