Recommend PC for R6000

Don't be pissed off with NVidia. Be pissed off at the person who told you that the 8600GT is "way above average". A bit of research on the internet would have revealed that it isn't "way above average".

The thing is, until the 8800GT was released, and the same goes for the 38XX series cards from ATI, the 8600GT was the next best thing in line compared to the 8800gts's.
There just wasn't that much choice when it came to slightly cheaper graphics cards...

Fair enough. It's not cool finding that out when you already have the card though. As, it seems, Ivan unfortunately did.
