First build. What do you think?

[patonb]

The 6870 is better than a 460, AND ABOUT par to a 560... So your main games are your main concern.

The 560 ti is abunch better than both, but costs more too.

If you can afford the 560 ti then go for it...don't settle

What brands should I look at for a good solid model with good cooling, and that is decently quiet for the 560ti?

 

[patonb]

They all are pretty quiet. I have a evga 560ti. Its quite nice.

It exhausts out my case, asnd i'm looking for both gpu and case cool.

The msi type cards are nice n cool n quiet, but exhaust in the case.

EVGA have lifetime warrentees if youre likeing that.

In the end theyre all good, quiet and cool.

Alright still at just under 1 grand. Pretty good methinks. Is the 650w Corsair gonna be able to handle everything ok? The 750's not a whole lot more, but do I need it?
