Have you looked into the 7870 with 1536 SP? Link to card and review.

Hmm, I might look into higher quality RAM then. I only choose that brand because it was the cheapest 8GB I could find.
And thanks for the tip on the graphics. Really bummed that the card I chose suddenly discontinued. I really hope that they get some more in stock by chance in the future but if not I'll probably go with the one you linked. Thanks a lot!
Any little tidbits of advice you could give for a first time builder would be appreciated as well. I've watched/read A LOT of guides on how to build so I'm pretty confident when it comes to putting together, but any advice on what to expect, common things that might go wrong/mistakes you can make would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
