if you have a sempron, no games would run well, so the CPU would be a "bottleneck" Think a neck of the bottle, which limits the amount of fluid the goes through. I find i5 2500K systems to be cheap for what they are ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) also ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.techpowerup.org%2F110520%2FCapture177.png&t=665&c=9ck7hq2902vzeg) 99.99$, GREAT price

I guess they'll be here two days earlier than if I had ordered them now though... 2 days of mining @ 800MH/s = 5.67 BTC = $36.87. So I guess I'm ok. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

1 Worth pointing out: The 5830 uses like 40 watts more power than the 5850
Seriously? Why? That's so lame... 25% more frequency, 50% less shaders/processors==more power consumption and less performance in both OpenCL/OpenGL and Direct3D workload.

And just when I was getting my first rig don't worry ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) you GPU invested not wasted. before GPU mining era was start, im use my AMD GPU in number of GPGPU appz to process images for example. also number of [really-nice]3D-renderers with GPGPU support exist. also GRID teams seriously consider adding OpenCL support and same about Linux guys -)

How cheap would you have to find a 5970 for it to be worth it to purchase vs multiple cheaper cards? I keep seeing people saying they can find them for 400 used, but I haven't had that kind of luck...
