670s are the worst card to buy right now... you can get equal performance for less or much better performance for the same price or a little more.
Saw a 670 for $297 recently, no idea why I cant find anywhere near that now, cheapest I'm seeing is low-mid $300s????
Personally I would still go 7870LE crossfire but I give everyone both sides of the picture (since some are hardcore AMD and others Nvidia). The 7870LE is just a beast of a card for the price. Overclocks well too.

lol, I still run my 965BE here...but not with a 7950. Still going strong with a 6870

This is what I had planned to do but I couldn't pass up a sapphire 7950 for $289. 30 bucks more was a no brainer.

the 955 is at 4.2ghz. I can go higher but I really prefer not to.

I don't even have either of my vid cards plugged in right now
Took them out to test out another card the other day. Sold it and haven't put mine back in. Haven't felt like gaming so I haven't been in a rush.

Im not exactly new to the building game
Just now expanding here on TD.com though beyond the sports board, really was just coming on this board to see if there are any WoT or WT MMO players.

Well, new or not telling someone to SLI two 660Ti's is bad advice IMO. I wouldn't own a single 660Ti with its 192-bit memory much less drop $600 on two.
So many better options out there.
Just giving you a hard time really.

I went on to correct myself if you read on. Definitely had a derp moment and suggested 670's which I saw for $297 last week but cant find anything near that right now price wise.
And 660Ti's you can get for well under $300/piece (still not that I would).
Personally I would go with 7870LE 10x over. Card is phenomenal and you can find them for $210 and if you're lucky to snag an open box for $175ish.

Is there a big difference between a 3.0 and a 2.0 usb external disc drive? I have to get on for my laptop because it doesn't have a disc drive and the one I want is a 2.0, I just didn't know if I was missing out.

yep, the powercolor was on sale on NCIX last week for 229 with 20 dollar rebate. It went off sale the day before I ordered
