the only people who do that are usually just kidding around/tongue in cheek etc. The hip hop guys are the basketball players, and they're usually quiet (ironic).
I'm having a difficult time tracking down a 5870 over here in the Philippines, so I was considering buying the card online. I need a reputable store that ships to my country at a decent price. On a side note, the nearest thing I can find is a gtx285 (they dont even have 4870 x2's and gtx295's anymore for some reason). How much slower can I expect that to be? current build so far: i7 920 intel dx58so (...x58 mobos are few and far between) 6gb ddr3 1333mhz ram 1 TB HD AcBel 750w PSU (even non-cheapass PSU's are hard to find). How's this brand? Is it craptastic?
[QUOTE="UltimateGamer95"][QUOTE="-kaz3-"][QUOTE="UltimateGamer95"] No you need a full tower case for the 5870. Tell me which full tower cases they have. I checked online. the 5870 is 10.75" long, similar to gtx280's and whatnot. It may have been a tight fit, but didnt gtx280's fit in antec 900 cases? btw I have no idea if they even have full tower cases. I need to check Most computer stores have full tower cases. I stand corrected. 11.1" for the 5870 length. http://www.villman.com/Category/Casings
[QUOTE="UltimateGamer95"][QUOTE="-kaz3-"][QUOTE="UltimateGamer95"] I'm assuming you meant the Antec 1200 case since the Antec 200 case won't even come close to fitting a 5870. ...200. it wouldn't fit? I didnt have much time to look into details like that. they do have a 900 2 case available too. would that be sufficient? No you need a full tower case for the 5870.

I know that, but certain products would last longer than others, now wouldn't it? I meant if the setup would be capable of running most stuff well nowadays, and in the foreseeable future.
[QUOTE="UltimateGamer95"][QUOTE="-kaz3-"]Just came back from the PC store, and came up with a more-or-less rushed setup for a new custom PC. i7 920 (2.66ghz) proc radeon hd5870 vid card intel dx58SO mobo 6gb ddr3 ram (1333 mhz i think) 1tb HD 700w PSU (made by AcBel, the only PSU they offered at above 600w) antec 200 case some 23-24" monitor (havent decided on that one yet). comes out to around 1900$. The peripherals, OS, etc. will take care of itself later. The parts have been ordered, but I can change any part since I haven't actually purchased anything. Is it fair to say that this is hella futureproof'd? I'm assuming you meant the Antec 1200 case since the Antec 200 case won't even come close to fitting a 5870. ...200. it wouldn't fit?
