PC Forum

I have noticed a trend in PC game development. Since Crysis, it doesn't seem developers are keen on pushing the hardware envelope so much. They seem to have relaxed a bit. From the looks of your build, you should be able to max almost any current or upcoming PC game for the next couple of years. The flipside of that coin is that you could spend much less, upgrade a bit more frequently, and still achieve great performance if this game continues. I just noted in the Dragon Age forums that I am running that game in 1080p with all settings on high (except AA) on a very modest build. I have myself been in your shoes wanting to max everything and have the best possible build, but there is another way to still have fun and save some cash. Just throwing that out there.

Yes western Digital or Samsung are alright. And EVGA are good but I'd prefer an XFX just me, I've got a XFX HD4850 and it's treating me well XFX did good with there new ATI cards.
