    He bought before hand a 1250 Watt PSU. At full GPU blow/stress 500 Watt!

    I used to think.... Finally I realized it's no good.

        Have any of you guys actually seen up close an Asus Ares GPU? WTF is that? HUGE monster. And heavy too. It comes with a custom styled mouse that's pretty cool. No, I haven't lost it completly(haven't purchased one), a designer friend of mine did. He's into 3DS max, Maya and stuff like that. Pretty cool stuff actually. I asked him why didn't he purchased a professional GPU for rendering and he said that those cards are good for work but kind of suck at games. This one provides both. It's extremly heavy too. I think araound 1.5 -2 kg, if not more. Sorry, I have no ideea about pounds and stuff. Insane card, purely insane. :)

            Meh, in a year or two it will be a hundredth the size and price, laziness pays huge dividends in purchasing computer hardware. :)

                    Sorry, let me clarify: Procrastination pays dividends when purchasing new computer hardware. ;)
