The Sapphire Xtreme Radeon HD 5850 is ridiculous. I'm playing things on maximum without a problem. I've never done that before. Very nice. I want an SSD next, but I'll probably stalk for sales or price drops first. But then I also have audio gear I want... and another keyborad...
I have a water cooler that I don't use or need... I can't justify switching to an i3 since I'm pretty happy with my Phenom II. The costs aren't worth it now. Maybe in a couple of years.
from what ive seen that xtreme card for as long as supplies last is a pretty incredible deal, good job snagging one.
I would also say that the i3 wouldnt be too much of a jump, but going for the i5 2500k, the unlocked chip, would be a worthy upgrade, sandy bridge FTW
