Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

go to the "bench" link on www.anandtech.com and check out the numbers for yourself. I personally wouldnt go for anything short of a 6950.

Wrong section you'll wanna go over to general hardware. Ok, I'm sorry I gotta ask.. are you advertizing?
A 560ti would be "better" than a 6870, but a 6870 can be had for around $150 after MIRs right now, where the 560ti's are around $200 still. The 560ti's fall between the 6870s and the 6950s, and to me, the $50 difference wasn't worth the small performance increase.
Also, that website doesn't seem to offer 6950s...

I would avoid buying from that kind of site. For a start it doesn't even offer heatsinks or coolng, just giving you stock intel heatsinks on stock CPUs... Their selection is extremely limited...
Seriously consider building your own (ask for advice for that in general hardware, which will save you money and is not difficult at all) or choose a better site. (scan seem pretty good and offer pre overclocked boards and better technical support for much longer than the crapp 30 days the site you linked offers)

It doesn't take much reading to figure out how to put a system together. Heck, the hardest part is probably figuring out what to order, but creating a thread in the General Hardware forum would really help cover that.
You'll save a lot of money, and it'll be a breeze down the road when it's time to upgrade components or build another system.
