Solved GTX 680 4GB or HD 7970 6GB?

if the GTX 670 works well at high resolutions and ultra settings, max AA (...), i could consider to get it...

I founded this on Ebay: [sbs] PC CORE i7 3770K/GTX 690 4Gb/RAM 32Gb/HD 2Tb/Wi-Fi/ASUS P8Z77-V | eBay

i'm conidering it... A GTX 690 should be the top of the top

It's good to want Top of the line but this is really overkill

I asked if they can replace the GTX 690 with the GTX 680, and to reduce RAM to 8GB... I'm expecting to pay 1500€ for this...

Top of the line in the computer industry is usually not worth paying for, because by time you get it, it's not the top anymore and the bottom falls out.

Friend of mine just replaced his crossfired 7850's with a single GTX 680 and he couldn't be happier.

Not necessarily liquid cooler although some of the prefilled ones are good Intel do one and I have a antec one, but the standard Intel coolers are not good in the specs they had a cooler upgrade(bottom of the page) which should be ok.
