Dem Pyros.

I was looking at little cheapo systems after you brought up that one for 375.
...

Hmm... might have to stick with PCs instead of jumping ship to console land.

It's really amazing :D.

I just pulled the trigger on the second system I posted with the 5570. Here's hoping that it actually works as well as it should :cheers.

100 for a 5670 (according to the psu calculator at extreme outervision it would fit in 250 threshold)
Bear in mind, it has to be able to fit into a low profile slot.

Unless you find a case with a high profile slot.

True, but you listed that Foxconn case, so that's what I was going on :D.

So I guess 5570 it is. While its nothing compared to some of the rigs here 325 for a little rig that can do 1920x1200 in recent games at playable FPS is not a bad deal.

Otherwise I guess it would be closer to 375 for a 5670 to fit it in a case as you need to spend more on a barebones setup.

For some reason I thought one of the foxconn was high profile

A 5670 would also need a Molex -> PCI-E adapter

Damn you Pyros... making me have conflict over what to buy :P

I highly recommend two things:

1. Coolermaster HAF-X Computer Case
2. An SSD!

Note: The i5 750 will be discontinued very much soon due to the upcoming i5 760.

A couple of days ago I mentioned that Intel will be releasing the i5 760 soon. Just today, they officially announced that it will be released next month at the same price as the 750.
