    Oh that looks pretty sick. How high are you planning to push your 2700K? I've never had a chance to play with that, but i heard it overclocks like a beast.

    Ok....

    So I ordered the 680 but now it's on back order but now AMD did price drop!!!

    I can pick up gigabyte 7970 OC for $460...

    What to do...

    I'm going to be using it for gaming and people are saying 680 better for gaming....

    Yeah, definitely go with the 680 unless you can pick up a 7970 for a ridiculous discount price.
