Newegg Shell Shocker

Hey guys I have a quick question. Should I buy this combo? Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1353139 I know it does not have the best components, but it saves me $75. But, if I have to buy a second stick of RAM to go dual channel and get a 80+ PSU, then it saves me nothing.

 

Also, this card is supposed to go on sale later, is it a good deal, and can it still compete with newer gen. cards? Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202035

 

Thanks for any responses,

Keith

I wouldnt do it because like you said, you will want a better PSU and more ram. also the card will be a little dated soon. I think in Q3 amd is releasing new cards. and when those come out i think you will kick yourself for not waiting.
