Hi, I an still in the Liwa desert so very limited online access...

As Klem already said, GTX580 is a no go, check if they have the other otpions I mentionned, they are supposed to be one of the main distributors in the region...
(Two cards will not do the job, you need one single card).
I am sorry, I do not know AMD and how well the new AMD cards perform with COD so make sure you hear the opinions of users before deciding to go for an AMD card.

The motherboard, med range is not good when you think about overclocking and performance...
They have super motherboardsso get the specs of a good model and check in the internet about the performancve.
The motherboard and the RAM will define how much you will be able to overclock your CPU later

Good luck!

I will tomorrow morning, I can't remember because my father picked it up for me on the way back from work.

I see, it is going to be a very long night if you are typing at 01:00
(and school tomorrow... don't want to be in your place LOL)

Anyway, since you have now 16Gb RAM, you also need to look into this thread:

ImDisk and Link Shell Extension are two fantastic utilities...

Congrats Jack.

I know it seems to be coming down to spec atm (maybe "the patch" will change that) but its nice to welcome another positive result to the fold.

Check 6!

Nice to see you cutting your teeth in ATAG - MP, enjoyed talking to you Jack, been a long while since we last spoke! Your new system performance in MP sounded great - (dead jealous here!)

You got TS3 working too! - you just need headtracking now!
