Hello,

Please look through my parts and give me some feedback and criticism. :)

Consider the new Nvidia GTX 660ti. Same price but benchmarks show it is stronger than the HD 7870 (although you are getting the OC'd version so I don't know how that changes the scores). Worth considering though.

The 660ti is not better than the 7870.
