System Specs

I'd get the GTX670, in fact I'm buying one right now myself. They are just beasts of cards. If you are really worried about the 2GB being a limitation spend sightly more and get one of the models with 4GB of RAM like this one:

EVGA 04G-P4-2673-KR GeForce GTX 670 Superclocked+ ...

I want to play shogun 2 with 3gb before the patch because the game LOOKED prettier when it is using 2600mb of vram. Damn Nvidia for being cheap.
Hardly true, at the time they patched it the HD7000 series barely worked with the game, it froze and crashed most of the time, if you got it to run more than 10 minutes you were lucky. Not to mention there were GTX480 and GTX580 models with 3GB of RAM...
