Is this what you already have or what you're getting? The parts are all excellent except for the monitor.

if you want gaming, wait until the new ATi 4800 series is released.

Can you give me the specifications of the ATI 4870 and the release date in Canada? Also, should I get the ATI 4870 or ATI 4870 X2. Are they compatible with my system? Thanks!
