Those 2 PSU's you had go bad weren't Seasonic were they? I've never had a
problem with the 3 I own..

Greg,
Understand your position on Vid card and CPU choices. Oddly, I quite
agree with your position. I have had stellar performance from both
sides over the past 10yrs.
Are you still strong on Seasonic PSUs?
I now need a pair of replacements.......... :(
Best,
Duncan

All that said, I have a 5770 and would buy an ATI/AMD GPU today if I
needed
one. Tomorrow, who knows--I have zero allegiance when it comes to GPUs
and
have positive and negative thoughts and experiences with recent
products and
drivers from both camps.

Google nvidia black crush. Some people don't notice. I guess for games
not
as bad. For watching bluray totally unacceptable. That and nvidia
still
doesn't
pass dts-ma and dd-hd tracks in bitstream and everyone else does.

I am using HDMI. Never heard of black crush.......driver works until I
try
games.......freezes and recovers...........over and over. Did same with
all
driver versions.

Really? Even with their recent 'your card destroyed driver recall'.
Or
if your
going out to hdmi the crazy black crush issue? Or failure at 24p?

Although ATI wins the speed game, nvidia still wins the driver game
IMO :)

Core i7-875k is best bang for the buck. Its half the cost of the
870,
just
as fast
and unlocked. Win-win-win
Nvidia to me has really f'd up the last two generations in the value
department. An ati 5770 or better will handle anything you throw
at
it
Ssd's are now cheap enough that you can get an intel 80gb for a
boot
drive
and then grab a 2tb or so data drive. I just grabbed a 2tb over
the
weekend
for $99. That's the solution.
If your going the otherway, or you want a cheap mediacenter, i3 is
good,
amd
makes a solid board/chip combo for a basic mce.
It all boils down to what kind of budget you have

Where are all the opinions. I posted a message last week looking
for
some
recommendations on an upgrade path. So far I have gotten 1
response. I value your suggestions. I need ideas.
