Well, I decided to go with the Radeon 5870. Ordered my new PC yesterday, its a Dell XPS 7100 with an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T processor (6 cores), 8gb RAM,  Radeon 5870 for the GPU, and a 1tb HDD. Got a good Labor Day weekend sale on it. Now I just have to wait a couple weeks for it to be delivered lol

You may need to OC the CPU to get totally smooth framerates in WiH in missions with karunas, but on the whole sounds like a nice buy.
I probably would have tried to get an i7 rather than a Phenom II X6, but it's still a very good core.
Also, it might be worth you picking up an SSD if you've bought a system like this, and use it for windows + your main game

i will just say that in this regard that you are an uneducated idiot.

anywho, flamewar on?

And why, pray tell, do you desire to start a flamewar?

Anyhow, knock it off.  Attack the argument, not the person.  This is a warning.

We settled it on irc I think (I was kinda playing SC2 at the same time), it was pretty civil, I hadn't clarified my meaning on the forum well enough for how it should have been taken.

it was a joke, if i wanted to put a real flamewar i would be a lot less subtle and a lot more name calling would go on.



and it was pretty much just a debate over which brand is better and those always end up nowhere

Unfortunately the i7 wasn't an option with the rig I ordered, otherwise I probably would have gone with it.

*wants a 1090T*

Me too! But really, I'm fine with the 1055T. It will do what I need it to.

I'd actually prefer the 1055T. The extra $100 can be spent on another 4GB RAM or more HDD space or a faster GPU. Once overclocked, the difference between the two is slimmer. The real low-bins are going to Dell/HP/Acer for use in their X6-1035T systems.
