Msi's z77MA is better than it's own z77A board,the z77A has two pci-e 3.0 slots(x8/x8) and one 2.0 slots running at x4 while for the z77MA has only two pci-e 3.0 slots running at x8/x8 dual mode),so go for the one which u have selected and best of luck bro....

If you're not planing on upgrading your psu and "IF" you don't have a 6power plug, go with a 7750 as it is one of the highest that you can get without any extra pins needed. But if you do have a 6pin go with 7790 as sourodip said.

i will get a i5 3570k in the future a long with a power supply which can sustain it, so let's not worry about them. i think a power supply good enough to handle that processor is good enough for some good top VGA card,no? im asking about the best graphics card which range from 120 to 140 without worrying about any other of my pc parts since they will be upgraded before the VGA card

[strike]Actually, I need to correct myself. The most powerful card in your budget is the nVidia GTX 650 Ti.[/strike]

If you can deal with a $20 mail-in rebate, you can get the Galaxy GTX 650 Ti for $115 + $4 shipping.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162127

If you prefer not to deal with a mail-in rebate, then consider a GTX 650 Ti for $130 (free shipping) from either PNY or MSI:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127725


Performance:
[strike]Based on the chart below and using an overclocked GTX 650 Ti as the baseline, the Radeon HD 7850 is has 90% the performance of the OC'ed GTX 650 Ti, while the stock speed GTX 650 Ti has 97% of the OC'ed GTX 650 Ti performance. Not only is the GTX 650 Ti slightly more powerful, it is also less expensive.[/strike]

The stock speed GTX 650 Ti only has 72% of the overclocked MSI GTX 650 Ti's performance.

I will point out that the GTX 650 Ti and the Radeon HD 7850 I linked to are only the 1GB version as opposed to the ones reviewed, but generally speaking you do not need more than 1GB of VRAM unless you go above 1920x1200 resolution.

I need to re-correct myself. The best card is not the GTX 650 Ti, within the $140 budget, it is the Radeon HD 7850 which I originally linked to. However, shipping adds $7 to the total cost; $147.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202004

Unfortunately, I read the performance chart just a bit too quickly. The stock speed GTX 650 Ti does not have 97% of the OC'ed GTX 650 Ti, it is 72%. The GTX 650 Ti with the 97% performance is another OC'ed GTX 650 Ti.



Actually, if you look at the performance chart the Radeon HD 7790 has 71% of the OC'ed MSI GTX 650 Ti while the standard speed GTX 650 Ti has 72% of the performance. That means that the Radeon HD 7790 and stock speed GTX 650 Ti are basically tied. The GTX 650 Ti is the better option because of the lower price. $119 after rebate and includes shipping costs, versus the Radeon HD 7790 which you linked to for $144.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162127


In any case for $3 more than the Radeon HD 7790, you can buy the Radeon HD 7850.

so this -- > http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162127 is better than this -->http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125455 ? and also the radeon HD 7850 is for 179$. i won't be buying these products from this site, since there's no shipping where i'm from. and i don't really know what rebate means, i don't think it'll affect the price where i'm from though. since i'll be buying these parts from a store. i'm not sure if ill be over clocking my vga card though. i think it's a bit too risky

Since both Gigabyte Radeon HD 7790 and Galaxy GeForce GTX 650 Ti are overclocked, they should more or less have the same performance. That's similar to the performance chart above where the stock speed Radeon HD 7790 has 71% and the stock speed GTX 650 has 72% the performance of an overclocked GTX 650 Ti.

Those are average performance percentages based on the games used as part of the review. Some games favor AMD, some games favor nVidia, but overall nVidia is marginally faster that AMD; 1%.

Regarding the Radeon HD 7850... it was on sale with $25 off the regular price of $180; or $155. I would guess the sale ended on Monday at midnight (Pacific Time). After you purchase the card at full price, you fill out a form that you download from the same page of the Radeon HD 7850. Wait until you receive the card before filling out the form and mailing it in. You likely need to cut out the UPC bar code on the box that the Radeon HD 7850 is in. Mail that bar code, and a copy of the invoice, wait 4 - 6 weeks and you get a debit card (or a check) with $15 on it in the mail. That's how a mail-in rebate works.

what are u saying jaguarskx the hd7790 is 10-12% faster than the gtx650ti;it was launched to counter the gtx650ti...he said his budget is 140$ and earlier we offered him a hd7850 and a 650ti boost within 154$,but he need to get the best within his budget i.e.,140$ and hd7790 is more powerful than a gtx650ti as i said earlier

GTX 760 will be out soon. Save some bucks and add some and get this GPU. It will be the best budget but high end gaming GPU. Maybe I think. As what survey tell.

It's is better than 660 ti but cheaper price than it.
