depending on price i may get 2 :D
i would pay 800 for one. otherwise ill get multiple 980s or something.
price matters.

amd is re-releasing one of their top cards with 8g to.
but unless its equal or lesser price then it currently is, i woudlnt touch that one. its aged already.

$800 is more than my entire build, lol

it is kinda nice how games and resolution are now requiring more vram. i can dig that.
but there arent enough card options with hi vram lol
4g should be a minimum now
3g for 1080p

I don't need all your fancy high-tech state of the art video bobulators. My 2GB HD 6970 performs great with whatever I throw at it.

Heck, even my 6870 1GB still handles everything I've ever thrown at it with excellent performance.

So my new PSU is dead for whatever reason (not even 1 year old) and I need a new one, it was a Corsair TX650 which I believe is here. Someone did recommend me this one here but I wanna see how many other alternatives there are that will actually last a year unlike my PSU. Try to keep it above 600w and below $150-ish.

Alright sweet, now I am considering getting a UPS for my computer in the event of a power outage (These occurred often ever since a stupid bird hit the telephone pole, so maybe the constant outages destroyed my PSU) UPS are an extra component that can keep the computer one a little bit longer so you can save whatever needs to be save and turn off the computer safely. Anyone wanna recommend me some?
