Ok, I am torn!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've purchased most of the parts to build a new rig.
Asus Sabertooth 990fx
Phenom ii x6 1075t
8gb (2x4gb kit) kingston 1866 cl9
h80i cooler (pissed because I wanted h100i but it won't fit in the case I bought - Thermaltake Overseer RX-1)
256gb corsair SSD SATA III (Main)
500gb WD 7200rpm (Secondary)
27" 1920x1080 ASUS MX279H 5ms (GTG)
Cooler Master Silent Pro 850w psu
I read a TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON of reviews before making decisions. 600w psu or 900w? 16gb of ram or 8gb....FX8350 or Phenom II x6.....Radon vs GTX. Back and forth back and forth. I want a system that I won't WANT to upgrade for at least 3 years possibly 5.
Now I'm at the point where I don't know what the heck to pick for my GPU. Oh...FYI: I don't do crazy rendering. I play mid to high end games and I want them to run on higher settings while still getting 50-60ish FPS steady.
I have never OC'd anything, and probably won't start now. Also, even with the 990fx's 4 pci-e 16 slots I probably won't do SLI or XFire so I need 1 card to get the job done.
I've read 2gb is more than enough........for now. What about 2 yrs from now?? I originally picked the Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 2gb OC edition for $199...nice price, but now I'm looking at the 7970 3gb line for closer to $450 and I just can not decide (not only on which card but also which brand!).
I need to just buckle down and make the decision within a day or two because once my money comes in I'm spending it!! LMAO!
ANY insight at all will be greatly appreciated!!! PLEASE HELP! THANKS!!! (BTW: Sorry for being so wordy...thanks for reading this whole thing...lol)
