Okay so now I need you guys to pick out a good graphics card that will let me run all games on high

I was thinking about this one:
SAPPHIRE 100314SR Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102909

But I've heard that it its not that great, so if you guys can please help me finish this off for me and pick a good card to use?

Thanks

Oh and I wan't to run games like COD, BTFBC2, Moh, and the cod game that's coming out

The 6870 is that great, and as it is new and will end up having driver updates which improve performance, it can only get better. It is about the same performance as a GTX470, the 470 taking the edge when the game has physx and at higher resolutions, but there isn't a whole lot in it

=EDIT=

+1 what daisy said about the PSU, 500W is about minimum for what you want for a 6870 +

Also, I noticed no hard drive in your build, which drive do you plan to use?
