The average price for a 7870 is about $240 and the average price for a 650 Ti Boost is $160. The 650 Ti Boost is closer to a AMD 7790. If you want some pretty good performance with saving a little bit of money, I'd recommend the 7850 (2GB) - $189 (Newegg).

Keep in mind:
The 7850 has 256 bit memory interface
The 650 Ti Boos has 192 bit memory interface

I'd getting this one if you want performance and if you're trying to save money:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102999 - $189

Plus you get free games with this card purchase from Newegg.
