I am upgrading my pc shortly and as for my gpu, i'll be taking the MSI HD 6850,
my doubts start here. . . Should i take the normal edition or the PE/OC edition?
In both cases i am planning to over clock. But is it needed? Most say this card will fly through with most games at high settings . Will it?
If not then the oc will help. And what is the price difference between the two??
My cpu will be a i5 2500k or a AMD FX 4100. With a corsair cx430v2 and 4 to 8 gb ram.

As i told u in other thread, do go for FX cpus, BD is a epic fail by AMD. if u were nt in hurry wait for few months, price will drop soon and wait for 78xx or kepler's 660/650.
