- HELP!! - Choosing a Graphics Card for my Build - HELP -

[J_Jordan96]

I am looking for a graphics card that can push two HD screens and will last two or three years. I am wondering should i get a AMD Radeon HD 7970 or a Nvidia Geforce GTX 760 for the graphics card and my budget for the card is £ 200 - 300 as ive seen that GTX 760's are going for around £250 at the moment. and also are their any DVI and HDMI monitors you would say are good for gamers.

This is the System So far -

AMD FX-8350 8-Core 4.0Ghz Processor
Corsair CW-9060007-WW Hydro Series H60 120mm Rad
Asus Crosshair V Formula Z ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Patriot Viper 3 2 X 4GB 8GB Set
OCZ Vertex Plus 120GB SDD (OCZSSD2-1VTXPL120G)
Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD (ST2000DM001)
Thermaltake Urban S71 ATX Full Tower Case
OCZ ZX 850W 80 PLUS Gold Cert ATX12V Power Supply
Lite-On (iHOS104-06) Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Drive
LG (GH24NS95) DVD/CD Writer
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional, Full Version (PC DVD)

if theirs anything you can see that could be changed to save money please tell me and i am not changing processor or changing to a Crappy AMD A4/6/8 or 10

Thanks in Advance

i hope you didnt build the system yet.
there are a few things
get a corsair cx 750 watt 850 is way too much and you will save alot of money, except if uare gonna sli/crossfire
and then the cpu cooler. if u are gonna overclock to 4.5 ghz or higher you need water cooling just the cooler master hyper 212 evo will save you money.
now if u buy the cx 750 instead of the 850 and a coolermaster hypere 212 evo you maybe have enough money for a gtx 780 if not go with an hd 7970 (ghz edition) its a beast card.
a 760 is not as good butt if you have a small budget it will serve you well

Get the 7970. The GTX760 is over priced. The GTX770 should be closer to the price of the 7970.

The 7970 is faster.

hi orionator
i have chosen the H60 as my room gets rather hot sometimes and i have built systems for my friends in my room and i have problems doing proper heat benchmarks in my room as its not really real world as you can easily take 7 Degrees off a temp to make it more real world and the extra Power on the PSU is for upgradability as their are other things i won't in my system but cannot afford buying them right now.
