Pretty sure this isn't ''ultimate''. Good at best, decent would be a better word.

gtx 560 ti is the best graphics card for gaming. The things like 6970 6990 570 and 580 and such are for like people who like game with 1080p 3 monitors and hardcore game.

So basically you just said that it's not the best card for hardcore gaming, which dismisses it as ''ultimate'' in my books lol

It's great for hardcore gaming. My friend can play BF3 beta on ultra around 40 - 60 FPS. Same with Crysis max on DX11.  It's just that the cards like the GTX 570 and 580 are overkill. Same with the 6990. In fact, the 6970 is only like 5 FPS better than the 560. Yet it's nearly $100 more in price.

I'm using newegg for all of these. However original prices would be around 700 - 800 dollars. Got these parts for 500.

The 560Ti is a great card but is far from the best.
Also, your PSU and case are cheap stuff. That's about the price I'd expect for those specs.

Damnit, this is what I'm saying. The GTX 560 Ti, is a really good video card.

As for the PSU and case, if I did a traditional good PSU + case, would be around $80 more. Still much less than what it would normally would. One of my friends had the same thing, it's works good, I don't know if it's good quality though.

[Mega-Bear]

Just imagine if you overclocked that graphics card. Dayum.

For the price. Yes, very great value.
But for 1920x1080 I'd personally buy a little bit more, but I do stress my systems.

For higher resolutions I would personally go with a 6950.

But I'm on 1400x900 so...

~$532 after rebates. Worth the extra for the quality TBH.
When I usually order they usually combine postage.

If you were to run in to money later on, I'd upgrade PSU asap. Up to you though.
