looks like nvidia needs to get rid of 9800gt stock?

in this price segment the 250 seems to be the best offer... amds 5700 series costs 15-50$ more, which is too much of a dx11 tax imo, as perf isnt all the different...
amds athlon2 is 20$ cheaper than intels, but its also slower...

The power supply wasn't available at newegg. So I grabbed something like it. The power supply at tiger direct is 40 dollars so minus 18 dollars. Thus 470.

I really don't know why they use a laptop 7200rpm HD in the bundle. Probably tigerdirect way of clearing out old components.

they mention 3.5", thats not laptop...
