Hello everyone,
I've been building my current PC on and off for the last few months and my specifications are as follows:
- Asus Sabertooth X58 motherboard
- Intel Core i7 950
- GTX 580 (evga)
- Corsair Vengeance 8gb
- Shitty Xcase Power Avenger
The reason why I purchased the GTX 580 was mainly because my friend had one and it looked as if it could pretty much run everything maxed out however what I didn't know was my friend's screen resolution (1680x1080) was a little lower than mine I have a 1080p monitor (1920x1080) which obviously meant that games would run better for his set up than mine.
I bought my 580 from amazon for 390 pounds I have 20 days to decide to return for a full refund and save for the GTX 590 instead... c'mon it's only like another £170 I'd probably be able to acquire that in a couple of weeks but I kept saying to myself when I was saving for the 580 "Oh when I get this I will finally be happy with my set - up ..." and now I'm thinking the same thing again for saving for the 590 maybe I'm just that sort of person. -never happy) getting that annoyed from a couple of metro 2033 settings to return the card.
I'm trying to think of the future, if I kept the 580 later this year I would probably be kicking myself because the only other way to upgrade would be a 580 sli but think about it later this year the 590 would of dropped in price and it will become more and more common for people to be running those in sli...
What do you think? am I just obsessed or am I making sense?
I need feedback.
