    Check if the items you have so far are part of a combo. I received like 40-50 bucks off of my total and 40 of rebates. The Corsair I bought now has a rebate of 10 bucks (was $20 days ago). Here's one but it's the 955, the chip can be OC'd to 4.0 even 4.2. If you don't plan to OC then a 945 would be enough, honestly.

    I've never OC'd, but I think I'm going to go ahead and try it. I went ahead and went with the combo you linked, I guess the 965 and 955 isn't going to be a huge difference. If I can successfully manage to OC it without destroying my PC then I'll be happy, because I wasn't even thinking about that at first. That took off another.. $32 ish. It's down to $841.66 now which isn't bad at all. And damn, thanks for mentioning the mail-in rebates. I forgot all about that. I have $45 in mail-in rebates.. bringing it down to $796.66 with shipping after those. That's less than what I was shooting for, so I think I'm content with what it's at now.

    And actually one last question. I have this-
    XFX HD-577A-ZNFC Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

    and I could save $10 with this-
    SAPPHIRE 100283-3L Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

    Any reason not to just go with the Sapphire one and save 10 bucks? Aren't they practically the same thing?

    Also, you guys are awesome, thanks!

    If you can swing it, jump up to a GTX 460. They're currently the best bang for your buck performance wise. 768MB version is good (superior to 5770 also) and 1GB is obviously better than both. MSI Cyclone after rebates is $210.
