Quote:Originally Posted by Thracks My favorite 7970s are:
-HIS 7970 IceQ X2 Turbo X
-MSI R7970 Lightning
-Sapphire HD 7970 OC
Mostly for their overclockability. HIS IceQ looks amazing, too bad it is only in Asia and Europe .

You need a APU build if you want to do decent gaming. The MB onboard IGP is horrible. Get a A6 or A8 for decent budget gaming.Should I go with MisterFred's build?
