    What did they raise your limit to? I was approved for 4k when i applied last month. Waiting for the bill to be available so i can pay it off, wonder if they will raise it then.

    They bumped it by 500 more...but i was paying on it for about 6 months, so that may be why.

    That is credit card 101. Since you were paying it off early it shows them you have money to spend so why not try and make you buy more stuff :)

    LOL...evil. very evil.

    Steve, I would wait . Next gen Intel CPU's are coming Q2 2012 and we'll have the 7000's from AMD and Nvidia kepler.

    if you upgraded now, what would you get? 6990's? 580's?

    be strong dude! you can do it :D
