I think you should dump that 300$ into a new cpu/mobo, but that's just my opinion.

I also think so but ATM I hav to many computers and no space I already hav a free 6870 for my sig rig will take when I build my next beast... My current rig is still holding its own.....time is always good when talking bout tech... I guess my question is if there has been any bad reviews for the item or if the gains are not worth $279 which I think it might b besides isn't that a smoking price
