GTX 690 is $1000, top rated card right now.
GTX 680 is $430, pretty much the best card aside from the 690 right now.
GTX 670 is $380 and it's using the 680's motherboard and keplar architecture, so it's basically the same card for alot cheaper.

I think that the Devil 13 7990 is better than a 690 in most tests :/

You should give a link to those "tests"

what are the best CPU and GPU you can have on this motherboard?

you can use any GPU, but the CPU is limited to AM3 processors

Supports the following processors:

    AMD Phenom II X4 9xx/9xxe/8xx Quad-Core (Deneb)
    AMD Phenom II X3 7xx/7xxe Triple-Core (Heka)
    AMD Phenom II X2 5xx (Callisto)
    AMD Athlon II X4 6xx/6xxe (Propus)
    AMD Athlon II X3 4xx/4xxe (Rana)
    AMD Athlon II X2 2xx/2xxe (Regor)

I assume you have that in a prebuilt, if you did want to upgrade something you'd likely need a better PSU

with an updated bios am3+ processors will work with am3 socket motherboards

Guys, I need help deciding whether I should get this tablet or a proper laptop. Can someone please give me a hand?!

Oh dear, this can't be on page 3! I must bump this for the good of computer nerds!

Are you sure it's mechanical? It doesn't say anywhere in the product description. If it was, I think would say somewhere.
It says "normal" keys, not "mechanical"

Oh you're right. I'm not sure if it's mechanical then. Still a nice keyboard but if you're a mechanical fan then look elsewhere.
