I'm soon building my first custom PC with a budget of around CAN$900 (in Canada). I plan to use my computer for gaming, programming and photo and video editing. (The $900 doesn't include Windows 8, which I already own and will use on this computer)
I've been thinking of buying either the MSI R7870 Hawk ($280) or an HD 7950 for around $300. I know that the HD 7950 is better, but I plan on overclocking so the R7870 Hawk might be better. Which one do you think is better? If you suggest the HD 7970, which is the best?
The other parts that I have decided are:
What do you think? Is this good for me?
Please note that I plan to purchase these parts in the beginning of September 2013.
