So how is SH5 performing on your rig? Any trouble?

Sorry, didn't mean for the slow reply, just got lost in other posts. No problems with my rig, I can run everything maxed out and never drop below 60 fps. Good luck with the new computer whichever way you decide to go

Do you really need 2 harddrives ?
Do you really need usb3 ?
Upgrade to a 5850 graphics card at least .

Honestly I went with the 5770 over the 5850 just for monetary reasons. I know the 5850 has twice the stream processors, but the 5770 meets and exceeds my needs as far as gaming and was half the price. I mean it plays SH5 with everything maxed out as well as my FPS games.

wow pal, you have problems... Sounds like you really want to drive the energy industry... Last time I bought new hardware just for a game was... I don't recall. That rig should do pretty fine though.

Well the last computer I bought was a Dell from back in 1999 so it was time to upgrade. I'm using the new computer for a bunch of different games besides SH5, and I wanted to build a base system that I could upgrade in the future too.
