Sounds like a monster. What are the video card specs?

Very nice Bismarck.  I hope it gives you many hours of gaming enjoyment.

Nice Bismarck! :)

Sounds good. You're going to have a superb gaming rig with that. 8)

I'm looking forward to upgrading my memory up to 8Gb later this month. I'm thinking of getting Ballistix, which has had some good reviews. If anyone has experience of this brand let me know.

Booting, downloading and installs are already saving me a lot of time.

I found that the biggest upgrade was going from a typical mechanical hard drive to an SSD drive. Nothing like being able to use the computer 5 seconds after logging into Windows!

My new rig is the Chuck Norris of computers; no game dares not run on it.
