Third: there are kids dying of starvation. Don't spend thousands of dollars for an extra frame in a game. Even if you donate to UNICEF, it's STILL a wrong luxury to aim for 123 FPS instead of poor 120 FPS...

Possibly there is a language problem...but nevertheless I have to point out that it's my money...If I want to light a cigar with a Hundred dollar bill, it's my choice.....
... I'll judge what "luxury" is 'right' for me, as will others judge for themselves.

It is totally irrelevant if "kids are dying of starvation". That may sound harsh...but, MY contributions to charities are MY Business (and very substantial, though that is also irrelevant). I'll judge what "luxury" is 'right' for me, as will others judge for themselves. It's not your place to judge someone else's use of THEIR money as "Wrong".

If YOU want to sing "We are the World" and wave lighted candles while you sway slowly left and right, I suggest you do it someplace else. imho

Did you hit a sensitive nerve, you betcha! Lots of talk these days in the US about redistribution of wealth...it gets old.

Wow! This is like when I humbly try to tell my wife that some exercise could be both fun and good for the health

"But it's for the children...."

LOVED YOUR POST! lol. But you forgot "Get off my lawn" .

A George Carlin routine also comes to mind but is not fit for posting here.

You are right and forgive my impulse please

There is another reason to wait. Once Sandy Bridge is released in 6 or 8 weeks the prices of the current i3/i5 motherboards and processors will suddenly drop substantially.

Sandy bridge is likely to be officially released at CES Las Vegas in early January:

Intel is rumoured to be launching Sandy Bridge at CES in Las Vegas according to motherboard manufacturers we've spoken to. Intel has booked a press conference for the CES event and it is heavily speculated that this will mark the official launch.

If all the rumors are right,considering that the CPU is the key for good performance in SOW and Intel claiming that Sandy Bridge is the biggest performance jump in ALL it's history...
Well I'll wait for SB for sure.
GPU will be the GTX 580 or ATI 6990 if it's drivers are OK for SOW (this card will be a REAL monster,be sure)

[WTE_Galway]

Maybe something like this overclocked SB i7-2700K (K means unlocked) will run SOW ok
