I'd probably drop down to a 6950 2gb http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161388(OC it to the same performance as the 6970) which will save you $80 and upgrade to the 2500k.

 

[elayman]

* sorry my link didn't work and it will save you $50, so you could grab the i5 2400 if you're tight on budget, or get the 2500k. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161372

 

[imbrawler]

how much would it benefit and what do you mean by

I'd probably drop down to a 6950 2gb http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 4161388(OC it to the same performance as the 6970) which will save you $80 and upgrade to the 2500k

 

[madchemist83]

do you need OS?
also I'd get 560Ti it can OC to performance of 570

 

[imbrawler]

i don't need an os i got mine, what do you mean performance of 570

 

[madchemist83]

I mean fps in games will almost equal GTX 570

 

[imbrawler]

so what drunkducki wrote would be good except performance and would it be better to get a i5 2500

 

[azeem40]

Why do you need 2 GB of Video memory? Won't 1 GB be enough?

 

[farsuka]

You can always drop the optical drive and just install from usb if you have another computer(Which i'm guessing you do). Will save you a bit of money

 

[madchemist83]

if ur resolution is 1080p max then 1Gb is enough especially if u don't plan on cf or sli
I don't think they make Hd6970 1gb
yes performance be better with i5
but remember that only H67, P67 and Z68 will be able to support Ivy bridge .. so u'll need to change mobo too.
Also if you need OS that's another 100

I mean drunkducki recommended an i3 and a 6970 gpu, and I would recommend upping the processor to the 4 core i5 2500k (which gives you 2 more cores, and lots of overclockability), and drop the graphics card down to the 6950 2gb, which is basically the same card as the 6970 (and when you overclock it, it can be even faster).

 

[elayman]

Oh and if you can, drop the cd drive and pick up a z68 or p67 motherboard to utilize the 2500k's ability to overclock.

so everything seems good and up the to i5 and down to a 6950 2gb, and it should work with the motherboard you said? Another thing would it fit in the case and would the power supply still be fine.

 

[madchemist83]

6950 is not the same as 6970. It doesn't overclock much (compared to 560ti) and the only way you can make it perform like 6970 is to unlock shaders if u lucky enough and have the right card

 

[imbrawler]

what do you mean unlock shaders and the right card are there different types of the same one.

 

[imbrawler]

another thing what would do you guys think would be the overall best build

 

[madchemist83]

some of the cards could be unlocked .. it's not certain manufacturer it's just some cards .. so if you r lucky u get extra $100 performance for free
I'd go for intel i3-2100 on a H67 board and 560Ti

 

[imbrawler]

so the i5 would be better for future proof.

 

[madchemist83]

just for performance

which 560Ti would your be speaking of because i typed it in in newegg and it game me a bunch

 

[madchemist83]

either evga, asus or msi
