Hi Tom's Hardware people. I want to know what graphic card should I get. I am going to play Battlefield 3, Crysis 3, Far Cry 3, when it comes out Battlefield 4
I don't want it to be over a thousand. So about $600-$700.
My Computer has
i5 2400
AMD 4 gb ram later I am going to upgrade
MSI motherboard ZH77A-G43/Z77A-G43

GTX 670, or 7870 Tahiti LE, if you don't want to spend over $1000 on overpowered things. Depends on the settings. +1 to Nephilim_17. It really depends on your budget.

Better than the 670 of course but I would choose a 7970.
EDIT: High-end cards require a lot of power, so you might want to replace your PSU because they usually require 8 or 6-pin PCIe connectors or sometimes two of them. E.g. the EVGA card you mentioned requires a 8-pin and a 6-pin.

I would go with two GTX 670s, since I already have one and like it very much. The right model will stay cool and quiet. If your particular games do better with Radeons, then I'd go with two 7950s.

The GTX 670 and 680 cards are all pretty much equal. There isn't much reason to get a 680 when a 670 is just as fast while being cheaper and consuming a little less power too.

If anything, Zotac's GTX 670 AMP! is probably going to beat every or almost every GTX 680 (at stock, not necessarily when in overclocking comparisons) strictly because of its unusual memory factory overclock.

Yes I would agree and the 670 is good in SLI configs but they draw a lot of power so you might want to change your power supply as well.
