IN ORDER TO PLAY THIS

I would go with an Antec High Current Pro 850 and an EVGA 570( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130621 ). The 570 runs at about $350. The trick is finding a good power supply that runs for about $150. I can't find the High Current Pro on newegg but I did find this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371050 . You have to have a minimum 550 power supply to run a gtx 470 or 570 and about 40 amps on the 12v rail to power it. I've never had a DOA Antec power supply and you really want to get a video card with a lifetime warrenty and EVGA has them if you register your card with in 30 days I belive it was.

problem is EVGA has had alot of returns with those cards and the 580....

I haven't heard anything about returns but if they have well they are probably fixing it and the lifetime warrnty is a good thing to have no matter what, there aren't many companies that will give you one anymore.

well at anyrate i would suggest a 5 series or the 4 cause thier more powerful while running cooler and consuming less juice than the 4's

Thanks for all the replies fellas, I haven't made up my mind but when I order something I will let you guys know. Should be this week or next.

Jinxer..

Do your motherboard support SLI???
If it does you should consider bying 2 GTX460 and put them in SLI mode. It will take you to the very top of single card heaven. And the GTX 460 is one of the easiest to overclock makes it even better. Just pick the ones with really (i mean REALLY) big cooling fans, and you should be fine.

Good luck.

PS Any Corsair or Antec with ar least 700W will do the trick.

Conclusion,

I am getting a 580gtx from evga also a EVGA Killer Xeno Pro lan ethernet card to beef up the latency and ping will post back with results on it once it's in.
I decided to go with an antec 900watt High current gamers series bronz 80 psu to boot. if you'd like to look at anything here are the links. Total comes to 830.00 usd Hope this ups the ante whilest I'm home. I will not be o/c this card. I am a firm believer if it ain't broke don't fix it. I couldn't go with sli I do not have two pci-e slots for both cards. All of this should arrive by friday evening I rush ordered and went overnight. 80 bucks for the lan it comes with it's own processor so it frees up the on board and by-passes the window packeting system. Hope it makes all the difference.

time to open up a case of kick ass on toxic!!!

Just keep an eye on that 580 cause evga has had a lot of returns on it. The Asus and MSI ones are seeming to have a better track record so far
