Hey people, I have been looking for a graphics card for a while now and I've come to the conclusion that it'll be one of these:
HD 7950
GTX 760
HD 7870
GTX 660

I am not a complete noob regarding the subject, just wan't some opinions. Think 660 is out of this when it's competing with these. I think i'll get 7950. It will sit together with FX 6300 CPU on a 990FX MB. if I get 7870 I will probably get it Crossfired in a year, dont have the money now, but then I'll have to get another PSU, current is CX600 thinking of CX750. since the CX 600 does not have 4x6 PCIe.
Dont worry about the price, I'll figure it out! might Crossfire 7950 or SLI 760 too but CPU might actually bottleneck! So what do you say?
NOTE: I have NOT bought any of the parts yet!

Your opinions are welcome and I appreciate replies! Thanks!

If you can get them at the same price, then it's just becomes your preference for brand. The 670 works better for games enhanced for nVidia cards, while the 7950 overall is still very slightly better on other games. I'm not sure where you're seeing the prices at, but on NewEgg for example, the 7950 is still cheaper and if that were the case I'd recommend it.

Hmmm, the price saving side of me would say go with the 7950 since you get get them a lot cheaper than the 760. If you find a 760 that's a good brand and isn't underclocked that's comparable to the 7950 in price, then maybe I'd switch over. Since you're doing CrossfireX in the future, the 7950 will scale perfectly fine and you'll continue to save money on the second one.

One thing I would probably change though is to switch the FX 6300 for a i5-3470. Since I'm saving on the graphics card, I'd put that money into a better CPU, and the i5-3470 is a better CPU for sure.

I have gone Back and fourth forever with CPU's, 6300 is cheap, good Performance for the price and have a rather high stock speed. The price is between 180-210 euros between the three, It is a budget build But I will Pend 200 on GPU, may or may not Crossfire later thinking my CPU will bottleneck... 7950 is on sale for 190 but will probably run out by the time I'll order...
