Very very hot deal imo:

PowerColor AX7870 2GBD5-M2DH Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card

$145-$30 MIR=$115 after rebate with free shipping!


Personally, I think Powercolor is a budget brand and I hate blower type HSF... So if you're not a fan of neither the brand or the HSF, you can snag an MSI 7870 for an additional 15 bucks! I think the additional 1 year warranty itself (which you get from MSI) is worth the 15 bucks.

MSI R7870-2GD5T/OC Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

edit:

I also used newegg's mobile app discount for an additional 10% savings! MBLNOV24

Only bad thing about using the discount code is that I cannot use shoprunner on the mobile app so I have to wait longer for newegg's free shipping (takes about a week for me...) and I do not get free shipping on returns.

That means you can bring down the price of the 7870 down to an incredible 100 (give or take) bucks after MIR for Powercolor or about $115 for the MSI version!

Yessir, and considering you can get a pair of them for under $250 after MIR.... that price/performance is just too hard to beat.

I picked up the MSI version for myself to put in the second rig I built. I was extremely pleased with the performance of my XFX double D 7870 that I had to order another 7870 and I am returning the MSI 7850 (unopened) I ordered last week for $20 less than the MSI 7870.

I also used newegg's mobile app discount for an additional 10% savings off of the pre-rebate price! MBLNOV24

Would an Antec NeoECO 620W 80 plus certified be enough power to run 2 of these cards in SLI? I believe I read 700w...Just thought I would check in with you all as well

Running 2HDD and 1 SSD with 3 small fans and a hypercooler 212 plus

I believe they use around 175W at full load, so 350W for two of them. Antec is is pretty high end PSU brand, so you should have no issues.
