Which GPU to get? Nvidia or AMD?

is that too small?
if its too small then ill get the
Cooler Master HAF932 instead
is that good enough then?

it not to small but with all that heat in the case a bigger case helps out plus u might want to upgrade to a larger video card later on that wont fit in the midtower and yes the haf 932 is great.

Two 6870's will do fine in the 922 and have absolutely no problems at all. You can put 3 way SLI/Crossfire in a 922 and it fits and functions wonderfully. I have built several of them. If a card wont fit in the 922, its not going into the 932 either. There is not a card made that will not fit in the 922.
Steve thinks so as well.

Looks like you will have a good rig... but be sure you have adequate space for cooling... Make the extra effort to keep things neat so that air flow is not hindered... Perhaps another case fan for exhaust when you add the second 6870

i actually was going to do that =D

UPDATE:

Well my parents said (Since all of this together would cost about 1200 Euros, that I should try make it cheaper, by for example going with an i5 instead of i7)

With an i5 (For example i5-750) can I still go for good quality games?
It says that it has 2.66 GHz with a Max Turbo Frequency of 3.20 GHz... but what is a Max Turbo Frequency?
Is it that it usually runs at 2.66 GHz but when I take a program/several programs that (need to) run anything up to 3.20 GHz that it can do that as well? If yes, then for how long can it stay at 3.20 GHz?

Anyway changing the CPU, I will also need to change the Motherboard, as the i5 socket doesn't fit into the Motherboard I chose.

I wish my parents would let me keep what I already have, but oh well =(
I guess the i5 is all that I'll ever need, and it's not like this is the only computer I'll be able to build in a lifetime.

*EDIT*

Well since the i5-750 is the minimum I'd get, and it's much worse than the i7-950, I will probably be able to convince my parents to let me go for the i7-950 because it's only 50 Euros more.

Look down the road.
Instead of building something right now to meet your current needs, think about building something you can upgrade.
We have a lot of friends that are very happy with the i5. It depends on the configuration... but it works fine.
But will you want an i5 a year from now, or if budgets get any worse, can you be happier with and i5 or an i7 two years from now...
Think about a more basic system now with plans to make changes as time goes on... and which will be easier on you and the parents.
No system stays current very long... A new system includes some regrets and dissatisfaction... Don't delay the burden to something that is more difficult or expensive to tune up later.

Yeah well if I get an i5 now and want an i7 later I'd also have to get a new Mobo because the sockets are different. I don't even know if it harms the computer to change the Mobo

*Mobo=[Mo]ther[bo]ard

AwesomeTech

not true, there are boards that take i3/i5/i7 CPU's. The i5 will game very well for you, no worries there. For example this MB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131634

and no, it does not harm the computer to change the MB

yeah it supports i3/i5/i7 but only i3/i5/i7 with socket LGA1156. YES there are some i7s which have that socket but seriously I don't want those?
So you're saying the i5-750 will do fine in gaming?
like on highest settings online multiplayer etc.?

IF I take the i5-750 is this a good motherboard:
Asus P7P55D ATX Motherboard
Does that Mobo support Crossfire at full
cause it says:
1x PCIe 16x
1x PCIe 16x (@x4 mode, 2.5GT/s)
and I have no idea what that "(@x4 mode, 2.5GT/s)" means

if all those things that i asked apply, then of course this would be better because, it would be a total of 240 Euros cheaper (because I am also going to get only 4GB of ram no matter what even if i go with i7 « Is 4GB of RAM enough for good gaming?)

Also I am prob going with the PSU HX750W not 850W because it's enough =D
so thats another 50 Euros I believe

300 Euros in total (well, almost)

What you are essentially giving up is having dual channel ram operation in place of triple channel. Still an extremely fast setup. just a suggestion as you mentioned that you needed to bring it in under budget.
yes the i5 750 will do great as a gaming CPU

the x4/x8/x16 refer to data paths called lanes. In short it determines the bandwidth of the PCIE-16 interface. What i was referring to is that many people shy away from x8 and x4 PCIE slots because they assume that they will lose half and three quarters of the cards performance if they use them. This is not the case. an x8 PCIE slot loses virtually no performance, and the x4 loses a minimal 6-8% at time.

excellent PSU!

Does this mean I should ignore "Awesome Tech's" thread about the i7-950 build?

Or perhaps I should ask, "exactly how many computers is "Awesome" building"?

Or maybe it's time to boot up the old "pornograph", and find some porn to play on it.

ooh,oooh....the third one!

Yes. Much like any Steven Seagal movie, you know how it ends before it starts....So if Steve played Macbeth..."By the pricking of my thumbs, something disappointing this way comes"

Rough guesstimate based on visible kbowledge base....0
I'd say AT's parents might like the local computer tech to try their hand at putting it together.

Probably safer than going with the "Pee Wee Herman Experience"

What resolution do you plan on playing at Awesome? This is very important and something I noticed not posted here. If you have a small monitor / resolution your GPU choice isn't the best overall. However if you game at 1920 x 1080/1200 the 6870 is a fine choice and will serve you well. You also never mentioned what games, but I'm assuming you plan on playing the latest releases.

for now 1280x1024 but i will buy a big screen soon... its just that my parents will kill me if i want to buy a big screen right away =D
but yeah 1920x1080 would prob. be what i am aiming for =D

A Radeon 6870 is by far overkill for that resolution and until you upgrade you wont be taking full advantage of that card. So just remember to get a new monitor sooner rather then later and definitely before you look at another 6870.

obviously getting new monitor before 2nd 6870

Alright can someone find me a good motherboard for Intel Core i7 CPUs which is not too expensive...
The P6X58D Premium is a bit too expensive
If i find no other GOOD one then the P6X58D-E is ok
here is what i want from it

Obviously for i7 CPUs with Socket LGA1366
3 Slots of DDR3
Some USB 3.0 Ports would be nice but it doesn't have to have it
S-ATA III is quite important but of course if it doesnt have it its OOOKKKAAAYYY =D
Should support Crossfire
if i find anything else i'll post it
