I know the F6300 will run almost all games just fine

*facepalm*

Well I said "almost all" so it's still sub-uptimal. :P

I just don't see a reason to limit myself. Knowing that I could've easily done better is one of the worst things for me. I know what I'm talking about. I regret my purchase of my 3570k as soon as it arrived at home. Now whenever I run into a scenario where it is limiting I will bash my head in because I didn't just buy the i7.

I would've probably killed myself if I went for a GTX670 instead of the 680. The 680 was still lackluster for me but I least I knew that I couldn't have done better at the time I bought it.

LOL the 680 is a joke in price/performance compared to the 670.  But whatever man you can act like money is no object if you want...

Money is no object to me when it comes to my hardare. I go for performance and not price/performance ratio. Sure, I have my limits but those seem to be a bit higher than most.

You can preach all day long how great some things are considering price but that doesn't make them any stronger. A few bucks on my table don't move the pixels on my screen faster.

I will definitely go for an 880(or 880ti if available) next time around. Why would I buy weaker if I have the money?

Because that 10% makes no difference, and anyone who is good with money knows that.  The Titan for example is the definition of the dumbest thing I have ever seen.  When it released it was only 30-40% stronger than the 7970 GHz, and yet cost 3x as much.  On top of that, 3-way 7970 Crossfire pretty much tied 3-way Titan SLI.  Paying the most for an extra 5% just proves you are bad with money. Period.

P.S.  The strongest aftermarket 670 is stronger than the strongest aftermarket 680.  Look it up, MSI overclocked a variation of the 670 lightning so much that not even an overclocked 680 could reach it (And there are 7950's that do the same thing).



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
