2600K is a good value but I have always suggested 2500K instead due to pricing, which makes it an insane value. I've also run my i7's since 920 with HT off. Here in socal we have 2500K's for $160 at brick and mortar, which makes 2600K, as good a value as it is, seem unattractive.

There is no way I'd get a Fermi at this point, even if my budget was $200. I would find some way to get a Kepler or wait and save up.

I got one of these back in the FW2.22 era and I don't have reliability issues either. I still think these late model Sandforce drives are a great value.

Game looks alright with sparse grid SSAA. I was new to stealth games to Dishonored was very fun for me.

yeah but the OP has a dell, which probably means an alienware m17 or m18x, both of which far exceed the cooling capacity of a 680M at stock. I am pretty familiar with the chip already as I have dealt with desktop 670's a bit, and I know even at the +135 core limit on my unmodified 680M its not even really close to its potential.

I used a Gigabyte M8000 for 4 years on my desktop, so I thought the wireless Force M9 ICE would be a reasonable compromise but its actually not even close to the same thing hardware/performance wise despite being the same shape.
