Two decisions to make,
2x4GB kit, allows upgrade - ability
G.SKILL Ripjaws X + Turbulence II Series 8GB (2 x ...
or keep my 4x2GB Mushkin DDR3-2000(operating at 1866 -9-9-9-24)
and I can keep only 1 card;
HD 6950, unlocked to a 6970, Over clocks like a champ OC'd so far to 950/1450
or
EVGA GTX 570 arrives Wednesday from Step up.
Things to consider, future proofing with a 2x4GB set, and my wife wouldn't mind getting the Mushkin ram back. By all rights the 6970 is a beast, and I like it alot, However the GTX 570 is also a monster, and I play mostly games that have that annoying, Made for Nvidia crap aka WoW, Metro 2033, and some BC2.
