Help! I don't know which one to get.
My specs:
Intel i5 @ 3.30ghz 2500k
4GBof CorshairRam (but 8 until I get Windows 7)
MSI motherboard

I like to game and I'm sometimes really into the graphics (graphics whore).

I'd get the GTX 570, its better than the 6950. Also, its Corsair RAM

Get the GTX570.The GTX570 is faster than the 6950.

What is the make/model of your PSU?

 

[vostroyan]

Can't recall the model name, but power is 650w but I'll probably upgrade it to say 800w. And thank you for your opinions ))))))))

Just make sure you buy a quality brand PSU.I've seen lots of people with 700-800watt PSU's that make a bad purchase and it turns out that the PSU is only capable of delivering 500 watts.

Yeah I know what you mean, I know it's name brand, I have it for around 3 years and counting.

Do you know which one it is? If it's a quality brand you might not even need to upgrade it unless you really wanted to.Although of course you would have to upgrade it anyway if you decided to crossfire or SLI down the road.

 

[vostroyan]

I still with one GTX 570 for now then later next year I'll add maybe a newer GTX card.

O I see.You should be fine then with your current PSU if your not planning to SLI.

I'll stay ***
