• installed a game on second hdd took 3 hours but is there and works (this maybe due to the dvd drive)
  
• spent 3 hour ripping music of and iphone to find 2 specific tacks no issues
  
• play about 10min of blackops get bats(aka squiggles all over the screen) system freezes but has recovered once.

I had that happen to a card I got from newegg.  It got worse as I kept trying to play BC2, eventually after the PC would boot to login it would go batty then grey screen.  RMA'd it and the replacement works great.

Those performance charts that Kulamonster references don't seem right, a 6850 performing better than a 5970, unless I'm missing something?  I would look at other charts to compare, like on Tomshardware.  Probably go with the 560 Ti if your a nvidia guy.

I can only suggest OCZ ssd's as that is all I have owned.  There support forum is great for any problems you may have and if a problem can't be solved they don't hassle about issuing an RMA #.

well I found out that the reason it is "lost" is my address supposedly doesn't exsist even tho I have lived here for about 14 years and the bills seem to arrive with no problems
