Looks like a nice system to me.

You should have a blast playing games on that, great bang for the buck.

All these exclamation marks are making me wonder just what exactly you did for this " friend " to get you a 460.

I'm a carpenter and built a covered bridge at his house near his pond. and he knew I was wanting to build a computer. so as an added bonus for payment he bought the gfx card. =P

Covered bridge for a video card seemed like a good deal to me. That and he can suck a golf ball through a garden hose

I helped a friend of mine clean out his pipes after a big storm. He has a mustache and a neckbeard, so it'd tickle, so instead he bought me a GTX 465. It's handling a lot of games well, 1920 x 1080. I downloaded Batman Arkham Asylum demo and I have to say it's eye candy... I'm curious how the 460 performs in the real world, what rez will you be running?
