Now, I have two questions: 1. Which PSU should I buy? I have it narrowed down to four unless someone has a better idea. The four are OCZ ModXStream Pro 500w, Antec Basiq Plus 550W, OCZ Fatal1ty 550W, and the Raidmax 530W. Preferably, it would have a blue :ED, but I could always add an aftermarket fan to the PSU. 2. I have no clue whether to get a 7950, a 7970, or a 670. I plan on playing mostly Bethesda games, but also games like Battlefield 3.
