Hi, I currently have the following system waiting to be put together this week, mainly as a gaming system. I don't know if I plan to overclock, and although I'm not looking to run SLI/ Crossfire at the moment,it is quite possible further down the road I think. My Monitor res is 1920*1080.

Processor: i5 2500k

PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro 850w

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz, 8gb

Those parts are pretty fixed, I just need to make a choice of graphics card and a motherboard to put it all on. The ones I'm looking at now are:
Graphics Card:
Sapphire 6950 - 305 dollars + tax

Asus 560ti - 287 + tax
http://www.exa.com.tr/asus/ekran_kartlari/asus_vga-334-14000.html

Asus 570 - 404 + tax
http://www.exa.com.tr/asus/ekran_kartlari/asus_vga-334-14021.html

On maybe one of the following:
Motherboard:
Gigabyte Z68MA-D2H-B3 (Cross Fire and SLI)
http://www.exa.com.tr/gigabyte/anakartlar_kategorisinde/gigabyte_z68mad2hb3ddr3-328-14757.html

Gigabyte Z68A-D3-B3/DDR3 2133MHz (Cross Fire)
http://www.exa.com.tr/gigabyte/anakartlar_kategorisinde/gigabyte_z68ad3b3ddr3-328-14754.html

Or maybe a p67 board?


I kind of need to get them from www.exa.com.tr and choice is somewhat limited in Turkey.
As I said, the cards/ boards above are the one's I thought seemed to be looking the best but I'm open to any other suggestions.
The mobos they hold in stock can be found at http://www.exa.com.tr/kategori/anakartlar-328/
The graphics cards they hold in stock can be found at http://www.exa.com.tr/kategori/ekran_kartlari-334/
I could also find zotac 560 2GB/ 570 Synergy and MSI twn Frozr 560 oc and 570 cards if any of these might offer a significantly better option.

I could afford a more expensive card, but I'm looking to get a good balance of performance/ price, while still hopefully having a system which will last me for a good few years (perhaps with adding another graphics card).

Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions!
James
