it's big enough as it is lol
i dunno...i wanted fancy caps/multiple power phases, etc, for durability, as i don't intend to OC atm, but if i did...
found an asus directcuII 7970 for a decent price...but i may have issue with ati and my non osd 2560x1440 monitor...looking like either the ftw or the evga just below it, with 4gigs memory...

looks like it's going to be the evga gtx 680 FTW 4 gig model
