So, just to clarify what the title implies—these aren't actually stickers, they're trading cards... if you want to dive deeper into the specifics, check out Topps 2010 Panini trading cards. Around here, we usually pick up a pack containing $3.256 cards

I’ve actually got my heart set on the EVGA GeForce GTX 460 Liquid Cooled, but I probably won't have it in my hands until late next week. I guess I'm asking just in case they run out of stock... Also, if I were to order a full setup—like the whole tower and a monitor—directly from Micro Center, would they actually put everything together for me? Or am I looking at a bunch of separate boxes arriving at my door, leaving me to play IT technician myself?

And regarding paying them directly for that free shipping option, how does that work? Do they ship straight to my house, or is it more like a PO Box or something similar? Just trying to get a feel for how it works if anyone here has gone through the process before.

Thanks! 👍

Which HD 5770 would you guys suggest from the selection over at Best Buy?

I'm currently in the middle of putting together a brand-new build, so I'm making sure all my other components match up perfectly with whichever graphics card I pick out.

Thanks!

I’ve been dreaming about running things at 1280x1024, but if I’m already stepping up to a 22" monitor, what would be my best bet for staying budget-friendly? Specifically, looking at the graphics card—what kind of VRAM should I be aiming for to keep things smooth?

Alright, I’ve got one more little dilemma spinning around in my head... should I go with the 512MB or the 1GB? To be honest, the price isn't even really a factor for me here. It's more about whether it actually makes sense to grab the 1GB version just because you get double the capacity—like, will there actually be scenarios where that extra headroom gets put to good use?

XFX Radeon HD 4850, 512MB DDR3

Gigabyte Radeon HD 4850 w/Zalman, 512MB DDR3

Or maybe there’s something even better sitting in this same price bracket... thanks a ton for any help! 🙂
