Hey guys, I'm finally building a new gaming pc and coming back to the KB & Mouse. As its been a while since I've been on a PC, I'd like some opinions on what I'm going with especially on the video card side of things:
Case - Antec Nine Hundred http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...k=antec%20nine
Mobo - MSI K9A2 Platinum http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813130136
CPU - AMD Phenom 9950 Black Edition Agena 2.6GHz 4 x 512KB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103273
CPU Fan - Zalman 9700 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835118020
PSU - Coolmax 1200W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817159067
RAM - 2 x 2gb Corsair Dominator http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145214
VIdeo Card - Asus EAH3870X2 1GB 512 bit http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121247
or
4870 x 2 2GB example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102768
For the video card, I'm looking for best bang for the buck. I'm looking to run all games on or very close to MAX including Crysis (doesn't have to be max though lol).
What do you guys think? Thx a lot in advance for all your input.
Also, was wondering ... is it better to run one 1gb card instead of 2 - 512mb cards?
