Ah, I see. I was wondering how the hell 16gig would struggle with any game :p
I'm considering getting a 770 to use till the 880 is available. The 770 is enough but I can put the 770 into my current PC then with a new processor my old PC would be pretty good itself. I'd like to keep it for video/photo editing to save my new build getting cluttered with 1000's of photo's and video files.

I'm looking forward to it. From what I've seen so long as you are sensible with them you can't go that far wrong. I'll probably keep it well within its limits seems I'm just doing it mostly out of curiosity.
