I wanted to get a GTX 660 but I also found a HD 7870 for about the same price.

The cards I was looking at were the MSI GeForce GTX 660 Twin Frozr III/OC 2GB and the XFX Radeon HD 7870 Core Edition 2GB. Im just having trouble picking between the two, which one has the most bang for buck? (The 7870 exceeds my budget a bit)

System specs:

Motherboard: Gigabyte M68MT-S2
CPU: AMD FX-4100 3.6ghz (stock fan)
RAM: 2x4 DDR3 1333Mhz
PSU: Crusade 750W Dual-Rail High Efficiency '80 Plus' Power Supply

I mostly play games, such as Deus Ex Human Revolution, Bioshock infinite, Batman Arkham City, Witcher 2, PlanetSide 2, Skyrim etc. I want to play these at medium/ high settings at 1920x1080 if possibe.

So which one should I get?

GTX 660
