Gotcha. It's probably more powerful. The two 560TIs end up being $50 cheaper or so than the one 7970. That's that much more heat, though, and this being my first build, I want to go a little easy on the heat my comp generates.
Quote:Good idea with the SSD btw, with one that big you can fit your OS and all your software no sweat. Just grab another regular HDD to use for your data storage if you can squeeze the money in (I got my 2gig ones for around 100, so they're pretty affordable), as that'll speed up data access too. Of course I don't know what sort of data you store so that may or may not be worth it.
Meh. Nothing really atm. The plan is, have a desktop as a gaming rig (gaming only, just gaming, gaming gaming gaming), and a laptop for other purposes (coding, internet surfing, etc etc). I do plan to get a nominal data drive, though. Probably just 500GB.

How do you mean? I have the tentative brands for all the components in the first post
