I think I found a pretty good deal, and I bought it right as it went out of stock!

I'm going to save up some money and get these two in a few weeks.

ATI is a piece of shit like I told you in vent. A lot of games struggle to run with it, and overall they are just bad quality. My friend had two 6970s and then changed to a GTX 670 and his single 670 runs better than two of the 6970s. They are overpriced.

Please tell me you are fucking joking, stop giving bad information about stuff you obviously don't know about.
SlyDawg, don't go for the 6870, get the 7850 for $110 when it finally lowers in price and use the money left over on a SeaSonic PSU, honestly you're just risking your build to die.
Vizion, AMD are so much better than Nvidia at the moment, for one Nvidia are stupidly dumbing down on CUDA cards and are voltage locking GPU's which is not smart.
-
lol, im still using an AMD5770 and I'm able to run any game I want, games are much more dependent on CPU for the most part, but AMDs are fine
also that 600 dollar PC is fine, for the money it's not bad at all, imo..
-

True, if you want higher minimums for your FPS you need a good CPU.
Also, Vizion is being dumb, It's the not the cards Fault for the performance, it's the drivers, which can be updated.
And Sab you are somewhat right. Look at the new 650ti, for $10 more you can get a 7850 which blows that card out of the water. But if you want the better drivers then Nvidia would be the best way to go.
One more thing. I recommend you get a more trusted brand for your PSU slydawg. Something like corsair or seasonic.

AMD have great cards when its performance vs cost, and they have good GPUs in general. NVIDIA also have great cards but they are very overpriced. As Sab said earlier, don't give people bad info to follow. Unless you have a shit ton of money to spend, you might as well get an AMD card. You were either mislead or just a NVIDIA fanboy.

So very true, I will suggest OCZ's ModXstreams as I personally have one, and my god it's great for the value. It's modular too so wires and organization is fairly easy if your good with wrapping. But if you have that extra money, GO FOR CORSAIR.
I dis agree with how many people think that the GPU is the main source of gaming power, the CPU/Motherboard are both important aspects, actually more important than the GPU. IF you get a crappy CPU with a high end GPU, it'll bottleneck.
I've used AMD for about.. three times. Maybe it's just me or that i've been jinxed. But AMD cards usually showed artifacts/frame freezing (I dunno if that'the right word.) As soon as I switched over to NVidia, I fell in love with it. The driver updates were great. But I gotta admit :< It was expensive

I got my computer today and it honestly runs pretty well! No complaints besides that it doesnt have a wireless network card.

Funny, I also have a ModXstream PSU (600W) and it's a god send for the price I paid for it ($50).
I Would definitely get one of those again if I needed to.

Wow Man, Good for you :3

Also If anyone wants a good processor buy an AMD athlon II X4 645 processor, I heard that this processor can overclock up to 3.44 gigahertz, It's also a decent price. Look at the reviews of the CPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103885 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103885)

Same price, performs better, has L3 cache, unlocked multiplier, etc.

The heat sink is too small IMO for that monster, lol.

theres always after market coolers, plus the stock cooler is the same for the athlon.
