When I first built my rig I didn't play any games until the next day. Spent the first day installing... and posting on here.

Source games work really well at high resolutions.

I run every source game on my system at 2048x1536. In TF2 I get between 50fps and 85fps constantly, and almost always above 70fps.

I love it.

At least it's not something like the mobo.

Ya... but hard drives are dirt cheap these days... you can pick up a 500GB at a store for like $120 anymore.
