What you got right now?? Oh and the 7870 is BIG. Like it's a bit extra long but it fits in my case thankfully. I have a microatx mobo in a ATX form factor case but if you using a microatx case it may not fit.

What games are you throwing at it to get max +60fps?
Crysis 3 buckles my system. 30+ on ultra[with a few dips] particularly the opening sequence :scusthov:. I'm constantly disabling AA and running 1080p
Only games I'm maxing is mass effect trilogy, bf3, fc3 and crysis 2

I'd go with the 7870XT if I were you. I originally wanted that card since I heard it has the same core as the 7900 series(Tahiti).

I haven't run Crysis 3 on this yet since when I got the card, I accidentally zapped my mobo noob style(didn't ground myself while working on carpet :snoop: )

The games I can max out on this are Bioshock Infinite. I can throw it at 1440P with ultra settings and knock down shadows to very high/high and AO to normal and get it rock solid at 57+fps.
BF3, Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed maxed out 1440P, Tomb Raider maxed out @ 1080P with tressfx etc. I need Crysis 3 to get my system coughing up blood.

:angry: This windows 8 installation is pissing me off seriously. First my youtube video playback is fukked and NOTHING I've done in the past few weeks have worked. It starts to play for 15 seconds and then stops and ends. I've resetted my browser cache, tried all different browsers, cleaned the registry, did the youtube throttle fix etc. nothing works.

Second problem is i don't know if it's because I'm using a crack on this Windows 8 but I can't seem to access certain options such as the network adapter properties. I get some error message . I can't put the computer to sleep and when I try going into the power save options, I get an error there also. Windows defender is constantly monitoring my system and there's a file I can't access because as soon as windows defender gets wind of it, it quarantines it and I can't even disable or change settings on it without getting an error.

yup...EVERYTHING

put your OS, most used apps, and keep your 2-3 currently played games on that SSD and then use your larger regular HDD for storage.
