I am building a i5-2500k build on a
ASUS P8P67 DELUXE (REV 3.0) LGA 1155
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131701
I was thinking about getting a ATI/AMD 6950 2gb, but I am not sure about it. First is there any more unlock able versions still for sale and is it the best choice in that price range for my motherboard and cpu. I do not play a lot of first person shooters but I play the total war series and a lot of space games like X3-Terran Conflict, although sometimes I feel the urge to kill monsters with AK-47's like in metro 2033. I will be gaming at 1900x1200. I also want something that would be good for 2 monitors. I plan on only using 1 monitor after my build but in a year or two I might want another monitor. Any suggestions or advice is appreciated.
P.S. I am not really into benchmarks, I am more into real-world performance. If I can go cheaper under the $300 range and still get to run my games in the highest settings I am ok, but I want something that will be future proof.
