Hello guys
I've been building a system recently and I've come to the huge hurdle.
I realized I have no idea which card to choose, either manufacturer or type.
However I noticed few things, both on OcUK site and manufacturers.
Nvidia cards use much less power than Radeons.
See, I have a 600W PSU and If my calculations are correct, I could either use a single Radeon HD 7950/70 or SLI 2x GTX 670.
Which, apart from obvious cost factor, is a better choice?
I'll give you a hint
Changing my PSU to get Xfire is not an option 
I'll give you another hint, about what I need my GPU for:
Its mostly entertainment, both HD movies and games (MMOs mostly).
So far I never had a GPU that could run high or ultra settings smoothly (30fps+), so thats what I am looking for.
Thanks in advance for any advice or explanations you can give me (and I would really like to know why Radeons are so power hungry).
Cheers
