I'm upgrading my system, from ATI to GTX. I hope I did my research well to make this switch. I'd be happy of any input or constructive opinions about the switch too, you know... Should I or should I not?
So far, I compiled...
ASUS P8P67 EVO
Ge-force GTX 590
Intel Core i7-2600 Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz.
What kind of power supply will suffice.
Also, RAM... is there one best suitable for gaming with this motherboard?
This build would be used for gaming mostly.|||Wow, that'll be quite a system. The Core i7-2600K will definitely work well with a GTX 590, as would a Core i5-2500K, which is actually a better choice in terms of "bang for the buck" if you're going to be using the system mostly for gaming. In either case, you definitely won't have any bottlenecking.
As for making the switch from ATI to NVIDIA, I did the same thing on my current machine, and I have no regrets. I have two GTX 460 1GB cards in SLI, and they've handled all I've thrown at them with ease. I had been a lifelong "ATI guy," but the reviews of the GF104 and later GPUs have made me an NVIDIA believer. :-)
You'll need at least a 700W power supply, according to NVIDIA:

I'd probably get an 850W Corsair unit in order to have some headroom, but a 750W unit would be just enough.
Corsair 850W:

Corsair 750W:

Regarding memory, with that motherboard I'd probably go with a 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 kit from Corsair (it's on the board's QVL):

Have you considered getting a motherboard with the new Z68 chipset? It has the best features of both the H67 and P67 chipsets combined, plus some new features for SSDs:

If you go that route, I'd get this memory from G.Skill (2 x 4GB DDR3-1600):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
It'd be a bit more future-proof that way. :-)
Hope that helped!|||that aint no bottleneck
i7 2600k is awesome,, so i guess it can handle the
The Most Powerful Graphics Card On Planet!!!
Cheers!!!
you'll do great
just make sure to get a PSU with 750W REAL POWER and 8GB DDR3 Ram 1600MHz will be good

Is it hard to instal a video card?
I am going to buy a Nividia GTX590 or Radeon HD6990 video card. How do I intal it, and is it hard?|||google "how to install a videocard" and you'll see.|||Very simple to install.
(First off, make sure your Motherboard, and Power Supply can support it, these are some good cards, you'll need a good Motherboard to support it. I'm not sure about the NVIDIA Card, but the Radeon requires a minimum 750W Power Supply. Make sure you have one, or you'll have some big problems in the near future.)
When you open your computer case, there will be a PCI Slot on the Motherboard. It should look like this - http://www.karbosguide.com/books/pcarchi…
In most cases, the Graphics Card uses the longest one.
You will then connect the cables that came with the Graphics Card to the Power Supply (The connections are easy to match up.)
The hardest part is going into the BIOS Settings and setting the new Card, as the primary one. Or your computer will continue to use the card on the Motherboard by default. Unless there was already a physical card you had to remove.
I hope I helped!
PS - If your Motherboard is not compatible, then you will either need to go with a lower-end card, or build a whole new computer. The Motherboard and CPU are the most expensive parts of a computer, if you have to change the Motherboard, you have to change the CPU in most cases.|||Not at all it's very easy .just put ur card in pcie x16 slot.
connect ur dvi or hdmi cable to graphic card.
Connect the 6pin or 8pin power supply frm psu to ur graphic card nd that's it.|||there are plenty of vids on youtube if you are a visual learner|||its easy plug it in then install its drivers

ATi Radeon HD 6790 or nVIDIA GTX590 ?
Spec.
Intel Core i7 @4.45GHz
3x2048MB Kingston 1033 DDR3
1 TB+ 500GB SATA AHCI
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit|||no|||To answer your question in money term is, GTX 590 cost you $800 whereas ATI 6790 cost you $140. GTX 590 is latest from Nvidia whereas ATI 6790 is a earlier version of 6850.
GTX 590 needs a psu of 750W and above whereas 450W will be OK for 6790.
If you are interested in knowing more gtx 590, please check the attached review.|||Definitely the GTX590, the HD6790 is only a mid range card. If you have two PCIe x16 slots then a pair of GTX580s will be faster because the GTX590 is effectively a pair of GTX570s|||If no budget and money is no object then i would go for the dual gpu gtx 590 , if on a budget then the hd 6790 ,heck , go with the 6970 this card has very good ratings and great for gaming

Nvidia GTX590 or HD6990?
"Dont worry about the price which is a better card"|||Depends on what you're playing. If its something like WoW, just get what's cheaper, and just about anything labeled "gaming" will do the trick for it.
Found this:
http://semiaccurate.com/2011/03/22/nvidi…
make sure to read the whole thing before making a decision, however, because one or the other may be better for your situation.|||The ati hd 6990 with dual gpu's or the nvidia dual gpu gtx590 looking at some of the benchmarks in running some modern games and blogs sites and pc mag reviews the nvidia gtx 590 out performs the ati hd 6990 by a small margin in some benchmark tests.|||Both cards are very similar.
but if you are up for more that 3 displays the go for HD6990 because it is built for it.
But if your up for 3 displays and the quality of the display then go for GTX 590.|||Well most reviews will say that the HD6990 is better,
But then again i will only chose the GTX 590 as it is showing a better Dx11 support.
So in my opinion, the GTX 590 should handle newer and upcoming games better|||Nvidia all the way!

Can i use a gddr5 graphics card on an intel g33/31 chipset motherboard?
i am planning on picking up an nvidia geforce gtx590 or the gts250..which of these will work properly depending upon my motherboard?|||It all depends on what PCI connection slot your mother board has.
if it has a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot them you can happily use the GDDR5 card.,
But do check the system specs for compatability|||if your motherboard has pcie x16 slot then you can buy any pcie x16 graphic card|||Either will work, there's no issue with motherboard compatibility, as any motherboard with a PCI-E x16 slot can accept any PCI-E x16 card (version 2.0, 2.1, 1.1 etc does not matter)
But depending upon other factors (your CPU, power supply capacity, case size and budget) one of them might not be practical.
The GTS 250 is an older card that's been replaced by the GTS 450. It's a $100 model which requires a 450W power supply. The GTX 590 is an exteremely high-end card, that costs $750 and requires a minimum 700W power supply.|||We need more information.
The following are important to take into account when you are purchasing any new component (especially a graphics card)
1. Does your motherboard have the correct slot/port required?
Exclusive to your situation: Make sure you have the proper port (PCIe 16x) on your board.
2. Is your power supply strong enough?
Exclusive to your situation: Make sure your power supply can handle the additional draw from those cards (around 250W, maybe more?)

Can I put nVidia GTX590 on my mother board MSI P35 NEO?
No you can´t that motherboard only accepts PCIe x16 1.0 and the GTX 590 needs a 2.0. Plus don't go and buy such an expensive graphics card for such a poor motherboard and processor, because you wont be able to experience it´s full capability. One of the only things you don't want to go cheap on is on a motherboard. You have to balance of all your computer components, don't buy a 1000$ GPU for like a 30$ board (exaggerating).
