We have this word called "resentment". Unless she is really behind this switch, you're going to be getting really comfy with the concepts embodied in that word.

I'm not planning to really game on this, so I'm going to see how the Intel 4600 works out, but I may upgrade the PSU and throw in a real GPU at some point. I splurged on the case, but it just looks so sick, how could I refuse? I'll probably actually snatch up a higher wattage PSU when an amazing deal appears, push the 430w on to my other rig (which has been using a DiabloTek 350w since '09. Have to say that I have had 0 issues with it.)
