Thread title explains all -- which is better? Price isn't a problem since they're both around the same price.

Depends on the title, otherwise so close that it makes no difference.

You won't be able to tell the difference.. though you cant crossfire on the board you ahve in the sig. If you are goign i7 crossfire does tend to scale a tad bit better. but really, just get whichever is on sale, you cant go wrong (please please use a 24" or larger monitor though.. or I'll cry)
