Right now My setup is as follows.

Q6600 (Stock, Scythe mine)
PC Power and Cooling 610 Silencer
Gigabyte P965 DS3
7300LE (To be replaced by a 4870 X2 or GTX 280, depending on reviews)
2 Gb Crucial ballistix


So yea, basically everything the same, the Quad Gt died and abit is still ignoring my refund request.

Ill OC my Q6600 back to 2.8 or 3 Ghz when I have the need too, but this DS3 board never OC my q6600 well, its why I bought the IX38 quad gt in the first place...

Ste, why not just get a 4870. It will handle 1920x1200 without breaking a sweat.
