Hi, I am building my first gaming rig and have so far gotten most of my parts except my graphics card and maybe a ssd/hdd.
I am not sure which graphics card to buy. I was looking at a Radeon 7870 or Gtx 660. I heard the Radeon 7870 was faster than the 660 but was also looking into a Ti version. I know they are a little more expensive but I wasn't sure if it was worth the extra cash. If there is a card that is better or certain Sli / Crossfire configurations that would be better please let me now. I'm not really worried about power heat etc. I'm just interested in performance and price. I also would like to know if there are any reasons why I should go with Amd over Nvidia or vice versa.
specs (so far).
processor: phenom 2 x4 955 at 3.2 ghz
ram: pny 4 gb 1333
power supply: 650 watt ultra
case: rosewill challenger u3 with 5 fans
motherboard: asrock extreme 3 770 am3
Thanks in advanced.
