Got my H70 in today but now I am not sure if I want to fool with it lol. I haven't taken the wrapping off yet just in case I decide to sell it.

That's expensive for that game... It usually drops to $5 or you can get both arkhams GOTY for $8-10 together

Wait 2-3 weeks for the summer sale.

I just grabbed NBA 2k13 for $5.99... I love it on the xbox, so I thought why not give it a shot on the PC

please make a new thread detailing the following:
what precisely you intend to use the computer for
what parts(monitor, KB/M, case) you might already have
what things/parts you feel you need(lots of storage, fast boot times, high/ultra settings for games, 1440 resolution)
whether or not you intend to upgrade components in the near future
budget
how long you expect your new computer to last as "top of the line" or "usable"

from there we can put together a parts list and help you direct your budget to the things you value most. autocad is a demanding program, so some adjustment in you budget may be required. If budget is not flexible we may need to change your expectations of the computer make sacrifices to areas of least importance.
thanks

Success. I got a GOTY edition and installed it on my SSD this time. Not sure why the last copy didn't work because it had pretty good comments and lots of seeders. Hope it wasn't because I installed it on one of my WD Blacks.

If I'm not mistaken it can be buggy for some people. Mine works great though.

I know Arkham City had some DX11 issues. I had a 6950 at that time and couldn't run it with any DX11 settings -- would get like 10fps. Crossfired the 6950s and of course that didn't make it playable. I'm sure the 7970s would run it just fine though.

In my experience all dx11 does is cause issues with little reward. That's just my experience though.

Any experiences with this router?
I'm looking to improve my home coverage from my old blue linksys router
