Default 6990 out of stock for a month now?
So I was planning on having a 6990 in my build and it's been out of stock for months now, you think it could be because of the new 7000 series coming out? And what else do you guys recommend for a high end gpu. Thanks :)

I would imagine the fact that the 7000 series will be out added with the fact that the new GPUs use a smaller manufacturing process would be a reason that you'll most likely see a quicker demise of the 6000 series cards than usual.

use your old video card until the new 7000s come out. Or if you don't have one buy a low end card in the interim. Say, a 6750.

well I haven't built it yet. But I have enough money for a
xfx 1000w fully modular psu
an i5 2500k or maybe an i7 3960x
if I go for an i5 i'd get the asus p8z68 mobo and if I get the i7 I'd wait for the new asus rampage ivf
64gb crucial ssd
haf x full tower case
most likely water cooled
not sure about the gpu anymore
500gb seagate hard drive
8gb of vengeance ram
and yeah that's about it
