If you aren't overclocking then don't get a 3570K and Z77 mobo.
MSI is known for making cool and fast GPUs. MSI is considered better than XFX. That's why I'm recommending MSI.

This has a much better GPU and will play games on Ultra. The 7870 won't play on Ultra.

This is a perfect use of the extra money you have to spend. I would go with this or something very similar.

Thanks for your response but I dont plan to OC. And also I want to stick with a xfx gpu or a asus gpu. I was told they are better in terms of reliability. So what asus gpu or xfx would be able to run games like bf3, far cry 3 run at 1080p on ultra.
