I built my computer around this time last year with the parts being, i5 3570k, Asrock pro3, HIS 6870,500GB HDD, Vortex 3620, Cosair CX500.... I have been using my computer for mostly gaming like bf3, borderlands 2, gta 4, with the occasional Photoshop and web browsing..

With bf4 coming out i decided im going to spend some money to upgrade my graphics card. I'm pretty dead set on the 7970. I found that my CX500 should be okay for a while with this card and with AMD's contract with EA i should be more prepared for bf4.

As of right now im using a single monitor 22" http://us.aoc.com/monitor_displays/e2250swd ... I am looking for help deciding which brand 7970 to go with. I measured my case and found that i can fit up to 12in MAX in length.
