Hi all, i'm building a custom pc and can not decide which gpu to go for . Below are the components that i want to buy - hoping to play games on ultra settings. Goods are being bought from scan.co.uk where i would like to buy the gpu as well. My budget for the card is £200, please also let me know if you would change any of the components or recommend any changes. Thanks

Intel Core i5 3570K
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H
8GB (2x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance (1600)
120GB PNY XLR8, 2.5" SSD, SATA III
2TB Seagate ST2000DM001 Barracuda
600W Corsair CXM Builder series
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro v2

If your able to do it, the 7950 will perform better and have a better life span. The 7870 is a great card and would work well for you but if you can get the 7950, that is worth it.

What is your opinion on the fans for the above cards? Is 1 fan enough to cool the card? I won't be overclocking just yet, maybe in the future but would probably go for an additional fan for the case if it helps.
