    I can't decide /:

    I'm aiming for the one that'll give me best preformance and graphics for our latest high end games (BF3, Crysis 2, etc etc)

    EVGA SuperClocked GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi)
    Newegg.com - EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1563-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

    or
    GIGABYTE Ultra Durable Radeon HD 6850 Crossfire
    Newegg.com - GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA Series GV-R685OC-1GD Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

    I plan to use only one monitor

    Rest of my specs on my future desktop:

    Montior: HP x2301
    Case: SilverStone Raven RV03
    MB: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA (Blue)
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
    Ram: G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB DDR3 1866
    Cooling: Zalman CNPS9900 NT
    PSU: Corsair HX Professional Serious 750Watt

    of course, theres many room for adjustments (you can suggest other components if you want) and I don't plan to buy all this RIGHT AWAY just when price lowers and such or when I find deals.

    As always, desktop-related questions should be posted at NBR's sister site Desktop Review. Thank you.
