New Build...5870 Sapphire or XFX

[scrappy77]

New build on the way...just trying to figure out this last detail. The computer will be used for web design, photo editing and a little gaming.

For the time being I am just looking at the 5-series ATI cards, I can't wait until Nvidia actually unveils their line...

In your opinion, which company has the better product???


Case: HAF 922
CPU: i7-930
MoBo: Asus P6X58D Premium
RAM: G.Skill PI Series 12GB 1600
HDD: 4x f3 Spinpoint 1TB (Raid 10)
PSU: Corsair CMPSU-850HX
OS: Windows 7 64
Monitors: 2x Samsung 24" 1920x1200

I hope you mean an i7-920. Anything else is too expensive.

If you're going to overclock, get the HIS version, it has a voltage unlocking software.
If you're cooling, get a Sapphire TOXIC/VIPER-X edition for $30 more.
If you're looking for a good warranty, get an XFX version.
If you're into overclocking tools, and a step-up program, get the EVGA.

Yeah, I was looking at the 930 since it's only $10 more than the 920... I don't plan on overclocking this one since it's primarily for work, at least not right away.

I'd recommend evga but it shouldn't be an option 'cause they manufacture mainly for nvidia cards.
Get the XFX.

Get the XFX and register it within 30 days for a double lifetime warranty.
