how did you have lag with those specs? since everything seems good except for the cpu

Those are good specs, however there will be an 8XXX series of cards that will come to market quite soon, sometime in 2013 according to techtomorrow. So I would wait for those if I could, I'm probably going to wait for those cards before I replace my 6870 which is an okay card, but nothing like what I would want:) the CPU doesn't seem as good as a fx-8350, which is a very good CPU according to razeth3world (I think that's their YouTube name) unfortunately I myself only have a fx-8120, which is okay, and I had a lot of fun overclocking it. Asus couldn't have made overclocking easier. Their ROG motherboards are amazing, in fact everything that Asus makes is usually going to be good:) however since I don't see any motherboard specs in your description of the computer you are going to have, I am going to guess that it's going to be a prebuilt system:( therefore most of what I said is either too techy or totally useless.

Oh well then guess my assumption was wrong. And I am always glad to find other tech enthusiasts like me:) so what motherboard are you going to get? Also your ram seems good except for the fact that you will fill up all of your ram slots. I have 8GBx2=16gigabytes of ram made by corsair, so I can still add 2 more sticks. Also if your ram is dual channel anyways you might as well get 2x8 instead of 4x4. More info on my ram: Memoryexpress.com I got it on sale a few months back:) also as I stated earlier your CPU isn't the best, the fx-8350 is a good CPU for the price. It's $180 or something like that. Your graphics card will get obsolete quite quickly due to the release of the HD 8XXX series cards sometime this year. Techoftomorrow.com I hope I'll upgrade to a new 8990 card:) obviously asus or sapphire, maybe msi or his. Preferably an Asus rog card so it fits my Asus rog motherboard:) also what kind of case do you plan on getting? I have a zalman z11 plus case: Memoryexpress.com that came bundled with a Memoryexpress.com its quite a good case, I like it. The red led fans make the entire case look awesome, cooling is okay, and overall I like this case of course there are better cases out there but they are usually above $100 and this case has everything I need while being quite cheap too:) the CPU cooler is much better then the stock cooler. I overclocked my CPU from 3.1ghz to 4.5ghz! With out any thermal problems where as the stock CPU would have been terrible at cooling my oc CPU. Which brings me to another question what CPU cooler are you planing on using? Also why don't you get an ssd in your system? Their quite good and not so pricy these days. Something like 80cents per GB. Sorry for absolutely over loading you with techy questions...
