Hello everyone I'm planning to build my first computer in a few weeks when i'm done school. I have a budget of $800. As for the video card i'm still debating on whether spending an extra $50 to get the 7950 over the 7870xt is worth it. I will be using a single 1920x1080 monitor. I already have the processor, hdd, and an os. So my budget is a little bit under 600 now. As for games i play things like fallout, skyrim, league of legends, and bf3. As for the price of the 7950 the rebate isn't offered anymore.
