Nice, that sounds cool. I was planning on doing what you are about to do, however, heat issues scared me off. I was worried the case wouldn't accommodate the larger gpu, and temps it would throw at it.

theres a big sale on ncix so if i do get it it will by the 31st cause the sale ends then

Yeah I thought of that too, but then I had to pay for school and such. If you do go ahead with the PSU and GPU, let me know how it works out for ya.

good everything is working fine thinking of a new graphics card and PSU tho

How's your HP running?

i just bought one and i like it i was playing battlefield 2142 on high and it was decent thanks for the info

I like my HP. I would have built my own but couldn't due to not having enough money. I purchased my HP at Best Buy. The mobo isn't anything special, either is the gfx card. The ram is nice, and the cpu is great!

Performance wise I'd give it a 7/10 for a pre-built that's pretty good! I can run any application with no problem, I can play any source game on decent settings so I'm happy. I'm thinking next year however I will go with and i7 build if I can.

how do you like your HP?
