Number 2. Because the 7870 is the more powerful graphics card. I would suggest however getting at least a 128GB SSD if you're getting an SSD at all.

thats one nice system(in the future because of games getting more and more gpu intensive make sure your motherboard supports sli or crossfirex so later on you can double your gpu power by going crossfire :)  if not thats fine to thats a really nice graphics card!

Looks pretty good to me. The mobo does support Sli/Crossfire should you ever have the need. Although 7870s overclock pretty well, one of those monsters should keep you busy for a couple years.

Which one?
If you mean the one with the yahoo fellow, I think Reynod banned him for a week. Rds finally got drunk enough to pass out, and the guy with the nazi avatar got his posts removed (nothing mentioned about anything else). Honestly its nothing that interesting lol.
