The 8-series C2Qs are not very good and are used almost entirely be dell to trick inexperienced people into thinking that every single quad is the most powerful thing ever.

Thank you. Excuse my ignorance. [editline]06:29AM[/editline] Hey wait, my mobo dosen't support this I think. mobo: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131377[/url] That card is a PCI E 2.1 x16. The board only says it runs PCI E 2.0 x16. Also about the CPU, I don't have much money, again, and that cpu gets good reviews. Whats bad about it?

So how well will it run?
[QUOTE=NuclearAnnhilation;21444814]So how well will it run?[/QUOTE] I haven't heard of any cards that uses up all the bandwidth on a PCI-E 2.0, so I think you should be good.. No trouble in Lazytown there.
Thank you everyone for your help. So should I keep my choices the way they are now but change the graphics card? Which one again exactly?
