r00t wrote If I was going to fill in the blanks for the hardware you have right now, I'd say it makes sense for there to be two 7970s. If this was intended to be a gaming rig at all, you done goofed, son. A 7870 is going to be out of place in this rig. The power supply is going to be much less efficiet than it would be with higher-end hardware as you're putting a comparatively tiny load on it. Way out of its sweet spot.

TTG is being slow for me and I think it's on my end somehow. I haven't been able to keep up with anything and doing builds on Newegg takes three times as long for some reason. My bad, I guess.
