1000$?
Please tell me you're talking about the overkill setups I posted. 7770s hover around 120$ USD, 660's aren't much more.
Im not kiddin mate, I know my crappy 560 is 250$ and the best in the market usualy reaches 1000$

Shipping stuff to Israel probably costs a fair bit, too.

AMD is not my favorite.
Don't feel bad, I'm an NVIDIA fanboy too. AMD drivers just have so many weird quirks about them. I'll probably have to buy a new one just to make sure Futurecraft can run well on it.

nVidia's 650's compete with 7750s in benchmarks. 7770 is pretty good for a budget gaming rig; I'd assumed it competed with the 660, but looks like AMD has that market cornered.
