Help with hard drive and video card in new build

[Everendless]

Hard drives:

Trying to choose between these two (both are $90, with free shipping):
Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM

OR

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31500341AS 1.5TB 7200 RPM

Video cards:

Choosing between these cards (The first one comes with CODMW2 free)

HIS H587FN1GD Radeon HD 5870 1GB 256-bit

OR

One of these (List of GTX 480's)

The Seagate, it has 500GB more storage.

The GTX 480 outperforms the HD 5870.

 

[Everendless]

Ok. BUT the 480 is mostly $100 more. Is it really worth it?

 

[Atomic Rooster]

Well, if you're looking for the best bang for your buck, than the HD 5870 would be the one to get.

 

[Everendless]

Would an HD 5870 be enough to max out crysis at 1080p on a 23.6" monitor?

[Sporego]

yes it would gtx 480 sure is a little faster but runs crazy hot google it ati all the way

 

[Everendless]

Okay. Thanks

i would go with the 480 Nvidia cards look much better than ATI cards most of the ATI cards i have seen cant handle x16 MSAA like the nvidia can makes it look much better

I'd go with a GTX 470, it performs equally (with the latest drivers) to the 5870 but is nearly $100 cheaper
