Originally I was going to wait until Q1 and see what Intel brings, how Crysis 2 turns out and possibly build a new rig.
Unfortunately budget doesn't allow and frankly I can't justify getting new rig for 1 game. Gaming industry will need to really improve and maybe late next year I might pull a trigger. There is always a need for more PCs in my household....so no worries there (4 kids, 3 of them boys).
Decided to go with this puppy today

$159 shipped (after MIR)
I think I'll be fine for next year. 4870 will go into my 2nd Lan rig (kids PC) and 7900gt oc will go into HTPC so that now we can game on it (which is nice), I usually moved my Gaming rig into living room.
I think I got a pretty sweet deal, although I would've preferred getting 5850 when it was $150 few weeks back....I past up the deal.
So.....do I have to reinstall W7 with the switch from ATI to Nvidia? I'm running W7 Home 64 bit.
