I'm having a bit of trouble deciding between these two specific cards.

MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127685&Tpk=N82E16814127685
220$
or

PowerColor PCS+ AX7870 2GBD5-2DHPPV3E Radeon HD 7870 MYST. Edition (Tahiti LE) 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card (UEFI Ready)http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131484&Tpk=N82E16814131484
140$

I generally lean more towards Nvidia cards but this Radeon cards price is making me second guess that. Also I think I should include that as far as the game packs that these cards are offering I only really find myself interested in the new assassins creed game so perhaps in my mind the price diference is closer to 180$ vs 140$

I will be using this card for general gaming (battlefield 4 being the game with the steepest requirements currently) and just want something that will be relevant at 1080P with decent settings for a little while.

I will include links to the rest of my build specs below in-case they help with anything

With all that said I am certainly open to more suggestions on cards and my apologies if I've turned this into a formatting monster as this is my first post here. :)

For value you alone the 7870 is better the AC game price will drop in a couple of weeks (same as the AMD bundled games)

However I will warn you that card is a bit loud I do't know about the 670 but I have two 7870 LE in CF.
