Corsair H100,
Cooler MasterHAF 912.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: tigerdirect.com, newegg.com, us.ncix.com and amazon.com
PARTS PREFERENCES: Either AMD or Nvidia is cool, but I'm thinking I'll get more bang for my buck with AMD.
OVERCLOCKING: Yes, not a huge deal
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Yes
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1680x1050 and 1920x1080, I switch between 2 different monitors.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I've been wanting to get a HD 7970 for a while but my wallet just can't afford it. So I lowered my sights to an HD 6950 or a HD 6970, I'm not seeing a Nvidia GPU that compares for the price. Can you guys please help me find the best for $200 flat?
