It will be nice to run everything at full settings and not lag. I'm also using an Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus motherboard. It's the same board as the striker extreme, minus the LCD poster and stuff. I peeled off the sticker on the board that says "P5N32-E SLI Plus", and Striker Extreme is actually printed on the motherboard under it, heh. I also got a razer habu gaming mouse which is beyond awesome. The laser is invisible and "eye safe". I always think it's off because there is no red glow coming from under it. I thought my case was big enough, but I'm gonna have to upgrade, I have an antec p-180 and I love it, but the video card is so big that I have to take the hard drive cage out for it to fit, lol. I think I'll get a p-190 next. Eventually I'll upgrade to dual cards and maybe 8 gigs of RAM. You know, to be EXTREME! Prepare to be owned. By me. For reals.

All it takes is five minutes and you can even clock it higher then what they are selling it for. http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/ http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?page=rivatuner Link to comment
