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.

Then I'd go with the 7870XT, as it represents better value. It'll be able to max all the games you play except, probably, BF3.
