Thanks Warsam71, esquared, and AMD. I would love a new video card! My Radeon HD4870 is getting a bit old.

Current gaming rig. Dell Vostro 460. i5-2500, Radeon HD5670. But I'm building a new gaming rig. I ordered i5-4690K and AsRock Z97 mb and should get it next week. I could use a new video card to power it.

My overclocked MSI TwinFrozr 7950 is starting to get awfully tired in light of this.

Intel Core i5 2550K
8GB DDR3 1600
MSI TF3 7950
Gigabyte Z68-UD3H-B3 Mobo

Thanks Ananadtech + AMD!

I'm entering the computer I'm building for my daughter into the drawing. She graduated last month from H.S. with a 4.0 GPA and is going off to college this fall. She is majoring in chemistry. I built this to be good for gaming/surfing/movie watching, except the video card is a bit weak for gaming. Maybe Warsam71 and AMD can fix that?

Mobo - Gigabyte GA-990FX-UD5
Processor - AMD FX-8320
CPU cooling - Corsair H50 liquid cooler with push/pull Corsair 120mm fans

Odds could have been 1/2 and I would still not have won. Oh well, at least somebody who actually needed it won.

 

[DSF]

Congrats! Enjoy!

 

[crashtech]

Looks like it's going to a worthy cause and a nice machine also!

Congrats, great card

 

[Creig]

Wow, I can't believe I actually won! My daughter is going to be thrilled! A very big thank you to AMD, Warsam71, AnandTech and esquared. My daughter is going to be rocking a much better system than her old man. Maybe if I'm nice to her she'll let me use it a few nights before she leaves for college in August.
