Thanks for all the input.
For now, I'm thinking I'll go for the 285 GTX and see how my power supply and E6600 handle things, then go from there if I need to.
To tell you the truth I'm not the hardcore gamer I once was. I play TF2, L4D, SC and some WoW. For me Playability is much more...
F!
Well, my crazy volt moded and O/Ced EVGA 7900 GT lasted me almost 3 years and now it's showing signs of no return (Green distortion, even at POST). :( I'm looking at the 285 GTX but I'm wondering if my PSU can hack it and even if it could would it be worth it considering my sad CPU status...
I'll need milk... and a badge too.
This game is worth buying. Online play is much more fun than playing with 1 or 2 others or worse yet the laughable AI. As long as all the players have dual core, 6 and 8 player games run very well. Playing the same person or AI gets old after a while.
It's true that one player starts a game session but there is no "hosting" with Supreme Commander multiplayer. It's all done via. peer to peer not client server.
Multiplayer performace is effected by your friends computers CPUs as well. So if you have a quad core OCed to 4.5GHz and they have a...

If you are not in a rush:
Although not out yet, this is "expected" to be the best air cooling you can buy with money...
The reviews on the Monsoon II looked close to the Ultra 120 Extreme for performance but it sounds like peltier and heatsink solutions need to be well planned out for the amount of heat.
Does anybody have a IFX-14 review or a place to purchase it or even a guess on the price? Jab-tech says...
The Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme is the best air cooling you can get. If have money to burn then spend $150 on a peltier sink like the Vigor Monsoon II. The performance surely does not justify the price, not to mention the extra power needed to fule the peltier portion of the rig.
The Andy does perform close to the old non-extreme 120 ultra. Not to shabby for $40 US.
My plan is to run overclocked and have speed fan adjust my fan voltage based on CPU temprature. I like my computer as quiet and overclocked as I can get away with, so I don't mind spending $15 more to buy...

Where did you find the Scythe INFINITY for ~$28?
Price breaks on april 22?
Are there issues with the p5b-e and the north and south bridge cooling solutions?
It seems the RAM market expected more people to purchase Vista and need an upgrade. Because of this mistake, I expect the ram prices to stay low for a while.
The Ultra-120 Extreme...
SupCom is playable on 4 player games 500 unit limit. On a 4 player game 1000 unit limit it slows to a crawl in late game, maybe ~5Fps, even with every single graphic option turned off. SupCom is the first game to use dual core fully to make it more playable at larger game sizes. I want to play 8...
