Yeah, I bought it when it first came out since it was my first real build. I also bought a Ti 4600 which was DX8, only to have the DX9 9800 cards released weeks later. I also got the 850E Gigabyte board which was $299... I vowed afterwards to never buy the high end again. Now I just get the middle of the road, or wait for5 prices to come down (like I did with my Q6700).
