2)These new gfx cards are updated 7970 right?
3) do i need pci-e on soundcard as pci is half the price?
4) will i be ok to add second gfx later if needed (mb can fit 2 and soundcard?)

Alrighty then...

I'm assuming it is better to buy one of the new gfx cards even though 7970 cost more?

soundcard is for new corsair 7.1 headset when released, does this make any difference.

also watch me try and save a few quid buying 8gb ram now and never be able to find orange ram again lol
