Please tell me what you think. Also, i'm wondering if i should get the MSI GTX 570 Twin Frozr III, as it's performs better. However, included with the 6950 you get Deus Ex, and it's cheaper.
Price with 6950: £854
Price with GTX 570: £890

This is a great system. I think you will be happy with the 6950, no need to spend the extra $$ on the 570.

how are the drivers on the ATI? I read up somewhere that they are rather bad. I also generally prefer Nvidia over ATI. I'm pretty torn :L

AMD's drivers are fine

I'm still a bit wary on which to get.
Can anyone give any comparisons or benchmarks?

You can look those up for yourself - Google is your friend.

i would say get the 570 if you are planning on running the card solo and get the 6950 if you are going to run dual cards crossfire>sli
