What kind of stuff did you end up getting? Based on the price point, I'm going to guess you didn't go with i7 stuff.

NICE... what that set you back??? itll beat mine im sure but ill only be OCd to a 3.5 (seen it pushed to 3.9-4.1) cuz more is overkill ona dual much less a quad... and youll have 2gbs of ram over me.... but even currently i played on max settings and on a 38" wide screen tv/monitor thru hdmi at 1368x768 res... so with the upgrade ill be perfectly happy lol
i would like an i7 but im kind of a poor kid so i have to piece it all together point by point and until my mobo crashed i was still putting if off... but i just payed for another 2 months of wow and hate playing on my crappy laptop lol
o and i averaged 30 fps on wow at max settings with my older stuff... so i cant wait to see what it hits

Gear grinder for now: construction. I swear to God these people plan the worst times to do construction. They KNOW the south-bound lane is full of traffic of people going to work, and the north-bound lane is practically empty. So which side do you think they work on? The south-bound lane. When do they wait to work on the north-bound lane? In the afternoon when it'* full of people going home from work.
