"'Cause I'm legit"

Yes, I went with the 560ti after talking to some people that owned one and getting their first-hand recommendations... Time to max out Skyrim! (finally!)

And I'll actually take some pictures this time before I close my computer and don't feel like opening it up again...

[Lucky]

It finally came!  Installation was a breeze and ohhhhh does Skyrim look good maxed out.  (Runs it at a solid 80fps maxed out)

[Trael]

so where are the pictures? :p

Looks Good, except you don't need 16GB of RAM unless you are making like movies or something

Builder? Myself.

Got a parts bundle for cheap, will upgrade as money allows.

[Taipan™]

With Southern Islands and Kepler just around the corner it is probably not a smart idea to upgrade any graphics cards until then unless obcourse you don't care about money

Also since all games are just console ports these days you only need to buy a card that can play everything now and it will still play anything until 2014-2015 when the next generations of consoles are released.
