Recently I have been looking at components for putting a £1000 gaming rig together. I want to be 100% certain that each part will meet my needs and last a good few years. Obviously trying to get the best components possible with my budget.
However, I am very undecided when it comes to picking a graphics card model.
I have been chopping and changing brands and even models every few days, trying to piece together what is best for me.
Firstly the old NVidia V AMD, from what I gather the 7950 and 7970 series gives you best "bang per buck" and you get some games thrown in free which I like. This has been leaning me towards choosing either one of these.
Which would you personally recommend for me? How do both compare, I read the 7950 is not far behind the 7970 performance wise. Is there a good overclockable 7950 which would stand the test of time?
I would love to play Planetside 2 on max settings with a good resolution along with other RPG's, MMO's and RTS games.
