Still looking for help on this

New joysticks are often stuff. Go to a thrift store, Ebay, or Craigslist and look for an old Microsoft Sidewinder.

I had the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback. You don't appreciate an old joystick until it's gone.

Fun fact: When I try and run the same autorun.exe from two disc drives, I get a BSOD! Isn't that fun!?

Can't use any of those places, mostly because I'm in the UK and I don't have Paypal.
I need modern recommendations, not dated things I have to dig around to find in good condition at a jacked up price

Those are the only cheap ones I can find that aren't absolute stuff.

Super cheap, cheaper than a 560

That's hot.

It might set your computer on fire if you have poor air flow

Just windows being windows.
The standby issue could be resolved however, with a video card driver update.
Budget?

1,400 dollars.

[Trymos]

1,400 dollars.

will you think you'll be overclocking anytime in the near future?

i managed to get a list, it has a high end nvidia GPU with a very good processor (no intel core i7 wont get you anywhere.)

i'd recommend to wait till ethan jumps in with a list, but this is a choice.

okay, so a little bit over the budget is okay, if it's not, i'll edit it to fit into the full budget.
