also that Sapphire card is a dual x cooler ed, probably better cooling than the XFX card. XFX high end cooling is the double d models.


Ok, is this one comparable to the sapphire one?

The site doesn't say anything about shipping, though. Is it free?

Also found this sapphire one for cheaper. Is it the same thing as the other sapphire? LINK

Sweet. Thanks. I'll probably buy it from here as long as the shipping isn't outrageous.

Even though newegg didn't advertise the 4 free games I bet you still get it because that's an AMD thing, not newegg.

I think I'll just go with this site to be sure. Even after S&H, it's still cheaper than the one on newegg for the same thing. Just to be sure, though, this one is definitely coming with the games, right? I don't see anywhere where it says you'll get them but I guess that would be false advertising if you didn't. LINK

Still searching for a job but I'll see if they'll let me just buy this one part for now since it comes with almost $200 worth of free games.

Actually I looked at all 4 games online and it totaled to $165 for PC. Granted, with the summer sale it may become $60.

truth

I don't recommend buying parts too far apart because you may only have 30 days to RMA something if needed.

That's how much they list it at but true pc gamers never buy at full price. The most I have payed for a game in the past year was $20.

What does that mean? So I should hold off on buying this part right now?

How long do you think it will be until you buy the rest and build?

Probably until I get a job.

I can wait if I have to but I'd hate to miss out on the glory of Bioshock Infinite for free on my nice new rig.

ETA: So what is RMA?

Well I wouldn't worry about the free games and you can find cards of that value later for cheaper. RMA is the return service for companies like newegg. If you get your card, it doesn't work within 30 days, you can RMA to newegg or whoever for a refund or new card. Most of them offer 30 days which is why I would say build within that point

But I want Bioshock. :(

I'll wait, though. Don't want to get some free games and then have a broken part that's more expensive than the games. I have a possible job anyway that has an open spot I just applied for yesterday so I'm waiting to hear about that.

Well you also can't play the games without a pc anyway
Those game deals aren't going anyway. They will still be there by the time you build or they will have made it an even better deal.

Yeah they probably will. I just got worried because they disappeared on the newegg version. They must be running lower on codes on newegg because now to get all for games you need to buy a 7900 series.

True, I have never had to do either. Is it easier to RMA than deal with warranty or does it just depend?
