Can't tell you, don't have a Canadian postal code.

I can only see the first 2, yet I'd go for the first one out of the 2.

Although..
PCI Express X1 Slots (Total): 2
PCI Express X1 Slots (Available): 2
PCI Express X16 Slots (Total): 1
PCI Express X16 Slots (Available): 0
No avaliable PCI 16 slots? Means you won't be able to SLI in future.

B1E1J3 a Canadian postal code
I wouldnt upgrade anything in the future (except the gfx card)
The 2nd of those has a ati5750 in it, are they a whole lot better than the 5570?

Crossfire/SLI isn't really necessary. It's usually better to upgrade a single card rather than buying 2.

It may not be as economical though. A single 5770 today is pretty awesome in games, and when you want more power you just go grab another one for even less than you got the first one for, and keep being awesome.

Yeah, I would only get 2 cards if I was running multiple monitors or a very large display.

That one at bestbuy would be the best in games by a longshot. Clock for clock the cpu will be slower than the rest, but there are 6 cores which I'm sure 3D modeling makes good use of.

Toms, deal w/ it :realsmug:

[Maniac]

Well dam, i already bought the top one. I noticed the ones at bestbuy came on sale the day after.
Should i just cancel my paypal transaction and return to sender, prepaid? or is that a shitty thing to do?

[Cortexian]

I'd do that.

[InnerGoat]

You could just keep it and upgrade the GPU on your own. Its probably not even $100 CAD for a 5750 :-3

[Maniac]

I was just thinking that last night.
I wouldnt need to add anything else (cooling things) ?
The i7 processor in the Gateway is much better than the one in the Acer?

[InnerGoat]

The card comes with a heatsink lol

Yes the i7 in that is a bit faster than the AMD in the other when it comes to single threaded apps

Thanks for your help guys
