This is my first build as the title suggests. I have already ordered my motherboard, ram, case, and power supply. I am getting ready to order my video card next week but I can't decide on whether I should stick with the powercolor 7870 XT or for about an extra $30 get the HIS 7950 IceQ. I do not plan on overclocking and I am not running on multiple monitors. I simply would like to play most games on ultra. I will mainly be playing Bioshock 3, Skyrim, DMC, COD BO2, Battlefield 3, and tomb Raider. If anyone knows, I would also like to know how these two cards will fair against the crysis series.

Here's my part list in case anyone is interested

Yea I am thinking the same, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a waste of money jumping from the 7870 xt which is practically a 7930 to the 7950. But I will decide on the 7950 since it's only a $30 jump. Thanks
