ok, well I lucked out and was able to grab a 5700xt, it should arrive in 2-3 days. 

I have an older desktop with an i7 930 but I think I need to upgrade the entire system/get a new one because im pretty sure my psu wont handle this card (currently running a 750ti)

ill make a new thread asking for help in parting out the rest of a decent starter system
