I am thinking whether I should create a new PC to get the most of my 7950.
Right now, my 3dmark score with the free 3dmark 11 edition at performance setting is: 6659 & 7849 w/ my 7950@ 1185/1600

Gpu: Sapphire HD 7950 3GB Overclocked Edition (I still got my 6950 2gb sapphire to reuse if i build a new computer)
Power Supply: Corsair Enthusiast TX750M > http://canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=33_443&item_id=040599
HDD: typical 1TB Barracuda Hard disk I got for 50$ - I don't care much for SSD since I have patience on loading times
DVD Drive: Normal average dvd writer and reader
