I was very good over the last week... I waited for ATI to show their card before pulling the trigger on my new build. However, it just seems to make things worse. I'm horrible at both making up my mind and not buying the best in the market even if I don't need it. So, I come to you, my brothers and sisters in arms. What would make the most sense?
CPU: i7 950
Motherboard: Rampage III Formula
RAM: Corsiar Dominator 1600 CL8
GPU: ???
Powersupply: XFX 850w Black Edition
Case: HAF X
Cooler: Thermaltake Frio
Money isn't that big of a deal, but I won't spend money I don't need to. I play at 1920X1080 for everything, I like my eye candy, and I LOATHE framerate dips... I can pick up the 570 locally for ~$329. The 6970 is online only at the moment and it's ~$389, and I can get a deal on the 580 and pull it for ~$475. That makes me lean heavily toward the 570, but the possibility of the drivers dramatically improving the 6970 looms over me, which makes me lean toward the 580 to just "Be done with it..." as my wife says.
My standard gaming fare are below:
World of Warcraft (most played by far)
Battlefield BC2
Resident Evil 5
EVE Online
Starcraft 2
Borderlands
Black Ops
