Are you sure that's right? It's not up to spec with anything else in the comptuer. As for myself: 8==============D Yeah. uhuh. Take it.

in most cases, people will be able to run the minimum. those with duo cores and quad cores and higher end graphics can probably max it out | ||

If your PSU is a quality brand, 650W is enough for you to run a gtx 295, without knowing the brand, you may have little to no headroom at all. | ||

It's one of those Antec Truepower 2.0's I believe. Also, right now I'm running my i7 on its stock cooler. Can you recommend a relatively inexpensive heatsink I could replace it with? | ||

Not really much cheaper for quality heat sinks for LGA 1336 but like half the price of top top ones like coolermasters v8 | ||

Can you recommend a relatively inexpensive heatsink I could replace it with? +1 for the xigamatek dark knight, I'm using one on my phenom ii now, and it works great, 43C load at stock the scythe mugen 2 cools better, and is a few dollars cheaper http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185093 but its HUGE, and you will have to make sure it fits in your system http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=211739 mugen2 is just a tad behind the much more expensive true 120 Oh and with the antec power supply, you should be able to run any video card on the market with the gtx 295 its recomended to have a 680W power supply, but that recommendation takes into account a Pc with many fans/HDD's Guru3d tested the gtx 295, with an overclocked corei7 and it maxed out at 411W, though every system is different your may use more http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-295-single-pcb-review/7 | ||

Plus, I'm really fanatic when it comes to Task Manager and it's processes, so when I turn on the computer, nothing besides explorer.exe loads. It's just that 1 core processors can't handle the flash applications that easily... | ||
