So I am looking to buy a PC, I have designed two online, I am spending around £900 for the PC, so they're prpretty high spec. One of them has an ATI Radeon Graphics card, the other a Nvidia graphics card.
Here are the specs for:
Computer A -
• Intel i5 3570k Quad Core 3.40 GHz,
• 1155 Gigabyte Z68AP-D3,
• 8GB DDR3 Corsair 1600 single module x2,
• Integrated Sound Card,
• Gelid Tranquillo CPU Cooler,
• DVD+/- RW - 22X Samsung SATA,
• 1000Gb SATA Hard Drive SATA 3,
• No Secondary Hard Drive,
• ATI HD 6970 2048MB,
• No Monitor,
• CiT Mars Midi Tower Gaming Case with 2 x Blue LED Fans & LED Display,
• CORSAIR CMPSU-650TXUK,
• No Operating System,
• No Additional Software,
• Logitech Keyboard and Mouse Deskset,
- It uses a 2048 MB ATI HD 6970 graphics card, and a different fan.
Computer B
• Intel i5 3570k Quad Core 3.40 GHz,
• 1155 Gigabyte Z68AP-D3,
• 8GB DDR3 Corsair 1600 single module x2,
• Integrated Sound Card,
• Corsair Hydro H80 High-Performance Liquid CPU Cooler,
• DVD+/- RW - 22X Samsung SATA,
• 1000Gb SATA Hard Drive SATA 3,
• No Secondary Hard Drive,
• Nvidia GTX570 1280MB,
• No Monitor,
• CiT Mars Midi Tower Gaming Case with 2 x Blue LED Fans & LED Display,
• CORSAIR CMPSU-650TXUK,
• No Operating System,
• No Additional Software,
• Logitech Keyboard and Mouse Deskset,
- It uses a 1280 MB graphics card. It is cheaper than the ATI graphics card, however is only 1280 MB, compared to 2056 MB. As it is cheaper, however, I am able to buy a Corsair CPU liquid cooler.
Also,
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
says the Nvidia 570X is better than
the Radeon 6970, despite it being cheaper. (It is higher ranked and if you click the invidual graphics card
name, it also has a higher G3D mark - which basically shows how much the graphics card can take before
Frame rate/performance drops - so the higher the better
So which do you guys think is better and why?
Oh, and more appropriate for my case, let me provide a little more information.
I will be using it for games such as League of Legends, FPS games and MMORPGs.
Also, I will be playing on a 21.5" LED Monitor, with resolution: 1920x1080

By the end of this, I would be very greatful if one of you guys could help me decide which one to buy. I'm not too bothered about the corsair liquid cooling fan, though, I just want the better graphics card. I have read around and got mixed answers, so I tried to make mine specific to my case.
Thank you.
