Hey! I have been working on saving money for a custom PC that I am going to build. I wanted your opinions on if this hardware would be good.

Nice looking build.

Alot of ppl on pc forums seem to suggest a mobo with a 990FX chipset to make the FX series cpu's shine

Any reason for choosing the 6950 over a 7850 card?

Good specs.

@raven28690: Most likely because of cost, but if the price difference is no more than an extra 100$, then I'd see no harm in an upgrade. The price seems pretty close.

Well alot of that is all in a combo. And the video Card is in that. I was thinking (because I will take anything other than my current 3 - 9 FPS pc) that I will start with that, and then if I want to upgrade it, I can. Get what I'm saying?

Thats why I asked since the 7850 is $10 cheaper

anyhow yea, nice looking specs and similar to one im thinking of putting together and buying.

Isn't the 7850 better? I thought that it being in the 7000 series would make it better than any card in the 6000 series.

Its regarded as a very good card for its price range on pc forums.

The comparisons are actually pretty close from what I saw but the 7850 gets the nod since its a newer series card and supposedly overclocks very nicely.
