Thanks again guys :) | Well, a 5870 is $400, so two would be $800 versus the 5970 (which is a dual GPU to start with) is $600. The two 5870s might offer a slight edge in performance, but it is a $200 difference...so the choice is yours. Either way, you're still going to have a motherfucking monster of a GPU that will run games for the next ten years.

Well i just bought a 28 inch monitor today and ill be buying the computer parts soon, I still think im getting the 960 and dual 5870s.... would a 1000w psu be good for this? or would a lower 800-900 be fine? im planning on getting liquid cooling so i can over clock as well.. again thanks for all the help guys also getting that case looks sick and big

liquidcooling is a pain to set up if you havnt before
also, nobody needs anything higher than a ATI RADEON 5770. There is no game out there that it cant run (read the reviews)and its only $180 canadian. dont waste another 400 dollars on something that only performs 10% faster. it doesnt matter that you can play crysis at full just because you spent 400$ more. save your money
btw this is your decision, not mine. so you can just ignoreme if you feel like it
here is a link if you want it (us newegg)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=5770&x=0&y=0[/url]

There is no game that can't be run by any of the 5000 series cards yet, and there probably won't be for a good amount of time. That doesn't mean you can't get the fastest motherfucking card ever.

get the xeon w3520, its like a 960 with lower stock clocks and better silicon, with the D0 stepping. and get an aftermarket air cooler, water is a waste of time.
