First I would like to say that I am not a total newbie...but I have not built a rig in a few years.....so here goes my question.....
I am building a rig for everyday use but it is starting to turn out to be more of a performance build.
I have bought everything for the rig except for the GPU. i am stuck between the Power color 2GB DDR5 (dual fan, factory OC) AMD 6970 or the GTX 570??? There both are ruffly the same price and my budget is $400 CND for a video Card.
My rig is as follows (So far);
Asrock 890FX deluxe5 motherboard
16 GB CORSAIR Vengeance OC memory DDR3
Phenom II 1100T Black Edition Six Core Processor - 3.30GHz
LG 12X Blu-ray burner
60 GB WD SSD
2TB Western Digital Caviar Black WD2002FAEX 2TB
Coolmax 1000W power supply (both SLI and Crossfire Ready)
The motherboard supports:
Supports ATIâ„¢ Quad CrossFireXâ„¢ , 3-Way CrossFireXâ„¢ and CrossFireXâ„¢
This is why I am leaning towards the 6970.
Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated!
