Advice needed in buying components,7970 or GTX 680?
Like the thread title mentions,i am buying a new rig after selling this current one and really confused about a few things.
First of all,the GPU. Was going for a Zotac GTX 680 in 400$ to be exact but some friends have told me that with the arrival of some new drivers,AMD is head to head with Nvidia now and right now a 7970Ghz edition from Club3d is a good choice which costs about 380$ and i can really put the extra 20$ to good use too. In some benchies its lower then 680 and in some higher.
Also 7970 has 3GB memory and more bits,as i will be using this for the next 3-4 years,wouldnt it be a better choice?
Really confused here so need advice from guys who are using them right now,please share your personal experience,any advice/opinion will be appreciated.
Rest of my PC specs will be:
i5 3570K
GA-P67A-UD5-B3
Gskill Ripjaws 2x4GB 1600Mhz (I reckon 8GB is enough for gaming)
Silverstone Raven RV02 or some other case within 65-70$ as havent decided yet.
And Corsair HX520 as it looks AND performs good and costs 35$ here.
