Get a ssd even if its just a 120gb one instal your OS and most used programs on it (120gb is enough for that) then use a normal hd for storing all your movies, music, less used programs etc. Trust me you love the speed at which your system will boot or start a program and you wont miss the freezes you sometimes get with a normal hd. It really is a world of difference and for only 130 euros.

I have a 550 Ti and it can run Mass Effect 3 on Max with an average of 50 FPS. It can run Crysis 2 on High with an average of 50 FPS as well. On 1080P. Not bad.
> My 6870 can do the same as well as way more for $30 more.
I'm not saying the 550 is a bad card, what I'm saying is that you were quite dumb to get an overpriced card, therefore giving the impression that you don't really know what you are talking about.
Then again, I have an X6.

I got the card because I was running Ubuntu when I got it and AMD drivers suck on there. Now I'm on Windows. So yeah.
I actually got a 6870 I think at first, but I returned it and got a 550 Ti because of the driver issue.

I'm not going to quote and reply to every single person in this thread if that's what you're thinking. Yours is probably the only one that even remotely makes sense, but I'll nitpick it since you're so bold.
-Why an Evo? it's basically the same as a 212+ but more money.
-Why a p67 board? There's a z68 variant of that exact board.
-Why 1066 memory? That's like paying the premium for Ripjaws then getting low enough speed it offsets it.
-Rest of the stuff is okay.

Figured the Evo was better because of the reviews.
Didn't see that board.
Didn't notice it was only 1066 lol
I thought you were talking about every build my mistake.

Way to criticize with out stating why.
