Hi, Im making my first computer soon and am having trouble deciding whether to buy a gtx 560 ti or gtx 570 and 4gb of ram or 6gb
I will be playing on a single 1920x1080 42inch lcd tv
here is my build any advice will be greatly appreciated

Intel core i5-2500
Palit Gtx 570
ASrock P67 Motherboard
OCz obsidian low voltage 2x2GB - 1600 mhz
500GB-7200rpm hard drive
Antec three hundred case

4gb of ram will be fine for games so save the money there and go with the gtx 570. That'll be more than enough power a while.

Well, yes, at 1920x1080 you can forget the 560. And maybe the 570 too.
IMHO, a 6950 would be a better choice - If you are just gaming.
-Less power consumption
-Lower cost
-More VRAM
-Can be flashed to a 6970 should you desire
-Better crossfire performance

But if you Nsist on Nvidia, go with the 570, you cannot lose with that either.

I have no real preference i just heard the nvidia cards are overclocking monsters, im trying to get the most out of my machine as i can without upgrading down the line
