Hi,
I'm building a new PC and right now I'm still deciding whether to go with the Intel or the AMD version of essentially the same build.
AMD Version: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/steelteal/saved/15Vh
Intel Version: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/steelteal/saved/1REO
Originally, I planned on going with the Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition video card, but recently I decided to choose the GTX 670. The problem is that I don't know which brand is reliable to buy from. I also don't know whether I should go with the 4GB of 2GB version.
These are the choices. Please help me choose the best one: http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/video-card/#c=101&sort=a5&qq=1&xcx=0
Also, feel free to comment on any part of the build that was a bad choice or will bottleneck something. I will be overclocking the processor right off the bat and I'll be getting a second 670 later on.
Please try to answer these questions in your response:
1. Which brand should I use?
2. Why does one card cost $80 more than the same exact one?
3. AMD or Intel Version? (Which do you prefer?)
4. Is it a bad choice to get a second video card later instead of at the same time as the first one?
5. Any comments about the builds.
Thanks for the help.
