So, im trying to decide on a graphic card for my new build, and I cant decide between two Radeon HD 6870 1GB cards, or one 7950 3GB cards, now im new to Graphic cards, so I dont know much, but I do know the basics, I wil be over clocking ( I know how to do that
![:) :)]()
). Im going to be playing very graphic demanding games like Crisis and Battlefield 3, Im alos gona be doing a lot of video editing and recording, and playing a lot of minecraft with very high res texture packs and shader mods ( lol Im making a very non-graphic demanding game into a very graphic demanding one xD ) And I want a good frame rate, especially when Im recording. Thanks in advanced an I will post the cards and my build below.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138354some random 900watt PSU my friend recommended, I think its coolmax ( NOTE: I may get a 850 watt instead, IDK if it matters, because there both powerful :P )
1TB HDD ( probably doesn't matter for this)
G.SKILL 8GB RAM
and a large case to fit all this
along with some other small things like a good air cooler, and a CD/DVD drive
again, thank you for reading, and if you have any advice, please tell me, im always open for improvement
