Hi all, I am a first time builder looking for some advice… I am looking to build a very good gaming machine and looking for some friendly advice. I just made this account to ask this question, but I have been using this site for advice so far for the past couple of months… SO my question is, and I have decided on an AMD 7970 HD GHz edition card but I am trying to narrow it down. The two I have narrowed it down to is the HIS Radeon 7970 GHz IceQ 3GB and the Sapphire Vapor X 7970 Ghz 3GB. THis is because of the power of the cards and the relative price.. Im trying to stay under the 450 range. I know there are some Nvidia guys here and I am open to them too But so far the Nvidias are more expensive and i can get the same power out of a 7970 as a reference 680 GTX. ANyway plan on running two of these 7970s eventually just not at the initial build… and finally here is the build I am doing…
