I'm in a budget.
Below are the four GPUs I'm considering:
1. HD 7850
2. HD 7870
3. GTX 650 Ti Boost
4. GTX 660

Also, which brand do you recommend?
Asus? MSI? Sapphire? Gigabyte?
Sadly no EVGA in my place.

Thank you :)

I also love playing games like Starcraft 2, Dota 2 and also some FPS games.
Hope that makes a diff.

4. GTX 660

MSI. It's $40-50 cheaper than the 7870 and overclocked it's only about a 3-5% difference. Save yourself $50.

Spend the extra $5-10 and get the model with the nicer cooler. You'll be happy you did.

Here's some numbers: http://www.xbitlabs.com/picture/?src=/images/graphics/geforce-gtx-660/zfulltable.png

660 also uses 70W less than a 7870. I buy from both companies on a regular basis but this seems like the best deal to me.

Also, here's a really good review of that MSI card: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_660_Twin_Frozr_III/1.html

What if MSI GTX 660 is not a choice?
Can't seem to find it in local stores.
I would prefer to buy everything in that one store so that it would be easier for me.
