Re: [H] New build prices ... and a NIVIDA card
The latest HD 7970? I believe it's very slightly better than the Crossfired 5700 and does 6 monitors. Anyway, why not the cheaper i7 3820?

A The GTX 6xx are cheaper than they were 6 months ago. I know nothing about Nvidia as I have always used ATI cards. What would be the equivalent of what I have = two Radon 5700 Crossfire... anybody know? Just so I can baseline this and have a starting point. Thanks

So can anybody recommend a Nivida video card that doesn't cost gamer money, doesn't heat up like a room heater, and will support three monitors? m Nice build, pretty much what I have other than I got the h100, the corsair 500R case, and an EVGA gtX 680. The CPU holds value due to having 6 cores and most of the newer lines are only quad. The GTX 6xx are cheaper than they were 6 months ago.
