    You still paid WAY too much. I don't even think the 8800GT was out back then. Anyway, prices dropped a lot, so you're good to go now.

    Alright, whatever. Do what you will.

    The 8800GT was released October, 27 2007. It's not even been a year yet. I'm not calling you a liar, I just think you are talking about some other card because the 8800GT was NEVER 450.

    Indeed, I've never seen a GT above 300 dollars, you're probably thinking of the 8800GTX, which came out October 2006 ish, at a price of around 500 dollars. To this day the 8800GTX is still faster than the 8800GT, but not by very much.

    Can't honestly tell the difference between them in use. I still think it's a stupid amount of money to pay out to play a pretty crap game.

    Whatever.. it's your money.. personally I wouldn't bother because this gaming on pc is just an endless cycle of paying out more and more in never ending upgrades. It's a conspiracy I tell ya ;)

    You should think yourself lucky - now's the first time when buying components that are close to the top performers are only a couple of hundred dollars. Not so long ago, half decent CPUs and Graphics cards were five hundre dollars, and if you spent less, you got less - much less.

    obviously i will be playing more games than just this one, i just used it an example. I make $800 a week, so this system is only about a weeks wages for me.
    But i also agree with you Varnull, constantly having to spend money upgrading a pc so it plays the latest games is a pain in the ass.

    But if you get alot of enjoyment from it than i guess it's worth it.

    other than when things go wrong, which isn't usually often, I enjoy upgrading my PC, because I get a benefit from it, and I know it was my handiwork that helped make it possible.

    Besides, if you start out with a decent set of components, you shouldn't have to upgrade that regularly.
