Gaming System for $1500?

Last response: in Systems
Share

I need a gaming system for $1500 or less. I'm not going to much editing just a little here and there. But mainly for gaming. I was looking around and I need a graphical system as the graphics cards need to be really high-end. SLI or Crossfire I was thinking about the 7970 crossfire or gtx 670 sli. But it doesn't have to be them. If anything performs better then them and at the same/less or a little bit higher. THEN PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

Also please list the cpu coolers.

i5-3570k-$230

GA-Z77X-UD5H-$184 (you need a high end motherboard if you want to sli or xfire with best possible results.)

RAM-G.SKILL ripjaws-$50

hdd- 1 tb wd-$100

gpu- 7970 x2-http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Radeon-Mini-Displayport-...

GPU's are factory oc'd and are made by gigabyte


Are the 7970's better then the 670's. I heard the amd drivers severely hinder the performance of the 7970. Also are there any other gpu's that are better then those 2 gpu's and are the same price or just a little higher.

Well there is a 680 which cost five hundred to six hundred dollars and then there the GTX 690 which is the fastest card in the world and it cost over a thousand dollars also hard to find in stock

heres what i would get.

a 7970 can beat the 670 by a little but it uses much more power. there are currently no video cards that can do as well for the same price. you can upgrade to a 680 but the 5-8% performance increase isnt worth 100 dollars. the driver update that amd had helped the 7970 beat the 670 by a little.
