Sounds good. I like the 3GB memory on the GPU.

why, it doesn't really improve performance.

If you get more for the same price,why not!

If there's an increase in price and just a slight benefit in performance in some benchmark may not be worth it.

Probably just another marketing gimmick to keep sales going before Ivy Bridge and a new generation of GPUs are shipping.

Now that's a pretty slick deal. To order a similar MSI GT780DX-215US model would be $1933, but this includes a slightly beefier GPU. Overall, this is what I'll be purchasing as soon as it becomes available on XoticPC. :)
