Hi guys,
I just bought the parts for my new gaming rig a couple days ago:
i5-4670k
Asus Z87-A
8 Gigs G.Skill Sniper
XFX Pro 550 Watts
and I was still deciding on a video card. My budget is around $250ish and I will be gaming in 1080p.
1. I've been looking up prices on the internet and the best deal seem to be AMD cards, specifically the 7950, 7970. Are there any Nvidia cards that can compete at their current price points?
2. Prices of 7950s and 7970s. On newegg the 7950s are $220+. The cheapest 7970 I could find is the Sapphire 7970 OC It is $309.99 but there is a $20 rebate and a $30 coupon code so it becomes $260ish AR. Buy this over a 7950?
3. My PSU should be able to handle a 7970 correct?
Thanks!!
