Need Pre Built PC Help

I'm looking at this right now http://www.ibuypower.com/Store/Ship_..._AMD_FX_8-Core
thinking about upgradeing the video card to the AMD Radeon HD 6970 - 2GB and upgradeing the power supply to 750 watts should that be enough to run the relativly high settings?

That is a great machine but for $100 you might not get much more out of a 6970 vs a 6950.

Take a look here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...ew,3107-7.html

That gives you a list of most of the cards out there right now, and then shows you the Hierarchy of which is better out of the 3 GPU companies (although Intel is never really a viable option).

THe 70 is only 1 level above the 50 and in my opinion not really worth the extra $100. But that is up to you. SOmeone else here might have more to say about it, not sure. Other wise it is a great machine.

edit: I would stick with the 700 power supply, for the money the 750s are not worth the cost unless you planed on adding another graphics card, then I would get an 800 not a 750.
