I building my own pc for the first time, and It will be mostly for gaming. One of my faverite games that needs a good graphics card to play with a high frame rate. I would like it to run ate 95-125 fps on ultra. I have around 375 to 425 to spend. I been looking at the GIGABYTE GV-R797TO-3GD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition 3GB. If you have a better sugetion, I would really like to know. Thanks

oh right sorry i thought you meant 400 for the gpu wasnt sure though :p anyways karis post is old stats i think because i just found this: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-660-ti-benchmark-review,3279-9.html and that shows that what kari said the titan gets the 7870 gets around the same...

Btw if you choose to get the 7900 series card then get the 7970 because as the chart shows the 7950 is pretty much the same as the 7870 by 1 or 2 fps
To be honest go with a 7970 will give you over 100 fps or there abouts and oc's well so will last longer, its a beast card try get a club 3d one (not very well known, but i have a club3d 7870 and oc's awesome and decent cooling for 1 fan and they all have there mainstream technology on)...

wait your building your own pc with 400 and your looking at 7970? anyways your eys cant see anything above 60 so 100 is pointless but the extra is good just incase of a spike etc but a 7870 or a 7950 will do the job
