I am currently in the Process of building a Gaming Rig and have pretty much all of the parts I want for it planned except for the GPU. I have been doing a fair bit of research into it and been trying to really narrow it down but seem to come to a bit of a wall when it comes to selecting the one I want.
The rig I planned so far is:
CPU: AMD 8350, 4ghz
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX
RAM: 16GB
STORAGE: 1TB Hybrid and 1TB Backup
CASE: Fractal Design Arc Midi R2
POWER SUPPLY: 750w Corsiar Enthusiast
So this is what I am planning so far but selecting a GPU has proven to be a difficult choice. I have kind of narrowed it down to four which seem to get some solid reviews and have great performance.
NVIDIA
- 660 TI
- 670
ATI
- 7950
- 7970
Now judging by my research these are all good high-end cards and all seem to be a decent price and these are the price range that I want to stay at, however I am unsure which will give me the most out of my money. Now the 7950 and 7970's seem to be at a great price but seen that they are known to run very hot and can be loud, and with the Nividia's it seems like they are more expensive than the ATI cards but in terms of performance seem to be in the same ballpark but of course one attaction is PhysX.
So anyone shed some light on thier experiences with these cards or any alternative that are worth taking a look at? Also shall be playing at 1920x1080
