    Switching to NVIDIA: Which GTX 670 to get?

    I'm pretty much done with my MSI 7850, not the card itself but the drivers. If it worked properly I wouldn't even be considering switching. Which GTX 670 should I get? I only game on one 24in 1920x1200 monitor, so don't think I will need 2 GB of VRAM? Is the Gigabyte GTX 670 OC...

    7850 VS 7950

    I first bought a 7850 for $260 a week ago, now I see a 7950 for $310. Should I try to sell my 7850 and get the 7950? Is the performance that different after OC? Which one can OC more? I can get additional rebate which would bring the final price to $220 for the 7850 and $260 for the 7950.

    Antec 1100 Case Fans

    I've been trying to put fans in the front for intake and on the side panel for days, but havent been able to because the holes for the screws are smaller than what is on normal 120mm fans... Is there a reason they made the case this way? Does this mean I have to drill bigger holes?
