I Need a New Video Card

[Securb]

This a much better world than your old PC; good call

I am definitely in a better world here. I am a bit surprised it takes almost 2 weeks to build. Big question do I want to hook up the monitor HDMI or DVI?

I was going to say HDMI and then I read this and got confused:

I dont need audio on the monitor so DVI should be fine.

The wife saw on TV that Dell and HP were having big sales. I was able to call and get another $50 off of my box.

Dell is pretty good about price adjusting, the customer service reps can be frustrating to communicate with though. When I ordered my computer last year I ended up getting free overnight shipping, a couple of hundred dollars off and an upgraded video card.

They kept delaying the build, it was delayed six times and took two months, and I kept complaining. It was irritating, they never emailed me and told me of the delay and every time I called I was assured that it would be "shipping soon". Without fail, every week it would be delayed more and more.

This is what prompted me to start building my own. I swore by Dell until they moved their call center off-shore (they completely suck now). I spent hours on the phone going back and forth and when I finally got upset they dumped my call.

You do have to be your own IT with home brews but I get so much more bang for the buck and no crapware. But, it doesn't hurt that I really enjoy doing it.

I am quite impressed so far. I ordered on the 13th and FedEx says the box will be here on the 22nd. That is damn quick for a custom build.
