As the title says, I am not sure if I want to go with the 7870 but I cant spend more then 300$ on a graphics card. I really only picked that motherboard cause I noticed a lot of other people did. And Im not positive on the RAM either. All in all, im not positive about anything =p (except the cpu, and yes I do plan on overclocking)

Edit: changed a few parts
