Hello, I have just ordered all the components for my computer (Well all but one) and I had a few questions. Firstly, are all these parts good? I just ordered all of them so it may still not be too late to cancel orders and get better parts. But the main purpose of my post, was to ask about the 280x vs the 7970 vs the 770. I would rather the 280x of course given that the 7970 is two years old and the 770 is slightly overpriced. Also, the 7970 will have more mature drivers I assume since they've worked out all the kinks and bugs by now I'd expect, on the other hand, in the future of the 280x they could squeeze out even more performance. But I don't want to leave these components I've just ordered to collect dust in my basement until AMD releases these. I've heard a lot of dates being thrown around, I've hear the 5th, the 8th, the 15th, and even next month. My other question, was when the 280x does come out, should I get the reference model or wait for the custom coolers? I bought the 850w powersupply so that I could crossfire the 280x's later on, will micro stutter be an issue? So basically, I want to ask if you think that I should hold off until the 280x is released, buy the 7970 (Which model as well?), or switch over to team green and get a 770, thanks in advance for responses!
