I was wondering if I get the radeon 6950 2gb instead of the 1gb, will I be ok? I want the most FPS , thanks
I ordered some stuff, but not the graphics card yet. I ordered the power supply the guy below my post said to get, so i got this power supply

Just wanting to make sure everythings gonna work, kind of nervous about spending this kind of money and hoping i can get it to work, thanks

Yes Antec HCG is made by Seasonic which is a kick ass brand among power supplies. You will have enough watts to consider crossfire in the future too. If you don't really need the 2TB HDD go for a Samsung Spinpoint F3 instead, best bang for your bucks right there.

just swap the psu, go for an antec high current 750w: 95$.
+1 for f3.
6950 1g or 2g differnce is seen at higher reolution of 2560x or so. 2gb is nice for high resolutions, 1gb is enough for 1080p.

if it is just a single card and you are looking at the 6950 1gb, the 560 ti can be just as powerful since it can be oc'd a ton. a gtx 560 ti @ 950mhz beat out a stock 6970 2gb at 1080p playing battlefield bc2.
here are 2 good options with good aftermarket coolers (they are both the same price after shipping and mail in rebates 225$)- http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Superclocked-PCI-Express-Graphics-01G-P3-1567-KR/dp/B004XUCCRM/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1311656098&sr=8-9 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127594&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&PageSize=100&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo
