Choices, Choices.

Have the Gigabyte 7870 and its an awesome cooler go for the GPU you will also probably get a few games but i did not since my country sucks :'(

[eshbop]

Since you don't actually NEED either, I'd suggest Paypaling me the cash so I can buy one or the other lol.

But seriously, with what you already have I'd get the GPU.

[EmoRarity]

What is your current GPU? And if you are choosing between the headset and GPU, are you actually choosing the 7870?

I plan on getting both in the next few months, just have to choose which one first.

I'll wire you Tomb Raider, since I have zero interest in it.

Well...what's your current headset and GPU? Are they both "crap"? Personally I would go for the GPU, but depending on your current setup, that is up to you.

Why do you have a different cards for winter and summer?

I live in the middle of a desert with no air conditioning. Two 220 watt cards push out a lot of heat and make my already hot (45C) room hotter (50-55C depending on the day)

[saurabh]

Both :p

I'll make you jump through one hoop, but you'll be entered twice.

Maybe, 20C day on Wednesday, should let me know how hot my room will get with just one card in.

[ZombifiedPyro]

Buy the GPU and a testbench and use the card at idle as A/C.

I would get the headphones, but you already have some pretty cool stuff.

Friend owes me roughly $300, so when he pays up, I get the headphones and let my younger sister use the 449's. And soon, after the prices shift because of the 7790, I will get the 7870.

Seven.

[EmoRarity]

Seven.

Yes.

[daveyjones]

Seven.

Haha, score. On a serious note, it sounds like your gaming rig is plenty fine. Plus, those AKG's are sweet! I've got a pair of K240's and they're great.

[EmoRarity]

Seven.

Can't stand the treble on AKG's open back headphones, love their close headphones though.

Still very solid headphones.

My room burns at 35c in the middle of the afternoon, my GPU runs at around 50c, I haven't really tested it on full load or anything. But I know my CPU runs at 62c full load. I should test this come to think of it.

If you already have 2 570s I'd go the audio route as breakthroughs in audio gear don't come out nearly as often as a new gpu

I'm not talking temps of my computer, these are what my thermometer reads, or the Weather Channel says it will be.

This isn't upgrading my 570's, this is upgrading the 550ti I use in the summer.

Your opinion matters, if you would like to give any suggestions as to a different pair of legitimate headphones in the $350, I will take that opinion into consideration when the time comes to purchase the headphones.

I say wait for the next Intel CPU, its gonna be baller :P
