Hi guys, I just enter the pc gaming world. I joins this forum because it seems highly respected. So here is my story after babysitting my friend computer while he was in vacation I play a little on it and was blown away how awesome it looks vs my ps3(his set up is an i3770k with 2 gtx 680) so that made me sell my ps3 and laptop an build my own gaming pc. Please I need advice my friend is making fun me because I went with the AMD 7970 and an I5 3570k. Here are my specs and I have every thing running but I don't know how to strees test it. Also now am facing a problem where before installing the MOBO drivers my card would output audio and now it won't. I unistalling the realtek ones and still won't work
My components:
