Quote: GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) Superclocked 1GB GDDR
you got taken bro. The 450 tho an alright card is vastly inferior to the GTX 460 which was what some would call the epic card of 2010. There is also the non Ti version of the GTX 560 and 550 Ti beat the 450 by about 20%. There is also the Radeon 6850 which is a really good card, comparable to the 460 and beats the 450 by 30%.
1000W of power is WAY WAY WAY more than you need, 1k psu is better suited for 2x 580s in SLI and running an overclocked i7 and 4 mechanical hard drives.
As for networking, the integrated network ports on your mobo are really good these days. There is no need to a network adapter.
On board audio is also quite good these days, infact you can spend an equivalent amount of money on an overclocker/performance board and get real, honest to goodness, X-fi chips integrated onto the mobo. And for the bargain hunter the realtek powered audio on most mobos is good enough to game with and only audiophiles can tell the difference.
And last but not least, you probably got a AMD 1090T or sister chip. These are a 6 core AMD chip that in all honesty i cant recommend since the introduction of the intel sandy bridge lineup. A similarly i5-2500 at stock speeds can beat the pants off a similarly priced AMD 1090T in most situations by 20%.
It should also be noted that you only have crossfire as your only multi card option if you are going that rout. SLI was not licensed to AMD boards untill recently with the AM3+ platform. the 880 or 88x platform was an old AM3. -------------

Originally by: Akita T CPU will end up underused, video card is weak, price is hilariously high. Final verdict : junk.
I spent ten minutes writing my response and you swoop in with 13 word response and nail it. -------------

I just noticed it said triple channel, thats funny because only the LGA 1366 x58 and old opertrons have triple channel memory. Nowadays everyone uses dual channel. I am beginning to think that in some way we are getting trolled. Luckily our trolling back is amusing me this sunday afternoon. -------------
