Ok so i have been planning to build my i7 for two months now. However i am not at a cross roads. I have to decide between the ati 4870x2 or the nvidia option of the gtx 295. For the longest time the 4870x2 seemed like the way to go however the ati card is having some really terrible driver issues that i dont feel like dealing with. So My question is - should i stick with my original plan of getting the 4870x2 or audible off to the gtx 295 for the extra $50? i am planning to finally buy this saturday when my tax rebate check clears.
Components i already own
i7 920 - 250.00
antec 1200 - 120.00
antec quattro 1000w - 130.00
2x western digital black 1tb hdd
key board mouse optical drives and card reader
items left to buy
a nice 24-26 inch monitor
either the evga gtx 295 combo with the evga x58 mobo for 760.00
with a nice set of ddr3 1600 memory
or
Asus p6t deluxe mobo combo with corsair ddr3 1600 memory for 450.00 with a saphire 4870x2 for another 450.00
what is the better option?
