xtreme: I usually buy a new video card every 2 years and then sell them, so I just sold my XFX Radeon HD 6790 for $90 and bought a EVGA GeForce GTX 560 ti fermi with 2 GB of memory. I was about $45 cheaper than the XFX Radeon 6950. Both cards seem to be pretty good and the specs comparable. My CPU is an AMD quad core and I have 16GB of memory.
exe: I have an LG 23" LED backlit and don't plan to upgrade in the near future as this is the size of monitor I like for gaming. So I am running my games at 1920 x 1080. Not sure if I could go any higher with COD2, COD4, and COD5 unless I get a bigger monitor that is. Gotta invest in technology when you have nasty enemies such as the pimp, ferzulo, dean, larsin, ratcamper etc. :-)
Will see how it goes, I have been pretty unlucky with my gaming keyboards and headsets so far. I love the razer lycosa but have to do a RMA and get a new one every six months or so. Thank you guys for your feedback!!!
