A Huge Leap

[Photographer]

Bought a new MSI 8600GTS 512MB GDDR3 GPU with custom MSI Cooler
Why an 8600GTS??
because this was the cheapest avaliable
just kidding!
it was a good deal and it had no fan so silent and on top of that it stays cool even if i over clock it (i think that is a good reason)

Why a huge leap?
because i used to have an X550 which kinda well sucked (altough i finished COD4 on it)

any ways here r the pics:

the contents

the card





PS: Sorry for the lousy pics
