    It doesn't matter what i need it for, since it's my personal choice.

    However.

    Maximus V Formula
    + Red color scheme, fits in with what i was trying to do.
    + Inbuit HD Audio
    + Inbuilt Wifi which i need.
    + Free game
    + ROG Bios
    + It's an ASUS, i trust ASUS.

    7970 Platinum
    + Fastest single gpu card out, and i dont plan to upgrade for 2 years so i needed the best.

    850w PSU = Headroom for OCing and it's a Corsair.

    In reality it doesnt matter anyway because I have it and I like it and thats what matters.

    So you pretty much paid 300 dollars for a black and red Asus board? Game is about 60 bucks.
    All modern boards have inbuilt HD Audio
    Higher end motherboards around the $200 mark has inbuilt Wifi
    Red colour scheme
    ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Professional Motherboard [Z77-PROFESSIONAL] - $229.00 : PC Case Gear
    ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Performance Motherboard [Z77-PERFORMANCE] - $155.00 : PC Case Gear
    No reason to distrust another brand, especially since Asus owns Asrock.

    Nope, 680 is.


    The max power that the card can use is around 400watts.
    My i7 2600k @ 4.4GHz eats around 200w playing Battlefield 3.
    No other component makes and difference in relative to those two components.
    So 850w is way out of the range of what you need.
    750w should be max.
    Best brand of power supply is Seasonic, not Corsair, even though Corsair is great and I have one.

    Those Benchmarks were taken with Catalyst 12.9 drivers while 12.11 beta gives a performance boost of up to 20% setting the platinum as the clear winner.

    >completely ignores whatever else that was stated
    It's up to 20%, that doesn't mean it will happen on every card there is.

    I do believe you but I'm not jelly. That because I think it's waste of your money putting it all in your computer. Unless you have enough money left though.
