The 7850 is much more powerful, however it also takes more power. It can also be overclocked. If they are the same price I would be wary of the brand. XFX double dissipation is known for being horrible.

As icraft says the 7850 is the better GPU. I would recommend Sapphire or Asus cards for their cooling.

I personally prefer HIS and ASUS. ASUS makes the DCII that is widely considered the best of the best in open air cooling, but their RMAs take forever. HIS is not quite as cool, but all the HIS cards I own are silent. I have no experience with the RMA, but I suspect they are reasonably long too, as they are Hong Kong based. (I think.)

I would't. That is based off the XFX DD. It is ok if you never oevrclock it or run stuff like furmark, but is known for letting the VRM temps go out of control. If you can try this one.

There is a reason that card is cheap. It is ok for just gaming though.

So it should be fine right?
I only do gaming and video editing. I also do not plan to overclock.
The one you linked it expensive.

Just make sure to watch your temp, and don't be afraid to set a custom fan curve. If it is exceeding 85c that isn't good, but it should perform just fine.
Best of luck with the card!

Thanks. I plan to have 4 fans in the case anyway, so I don't think it will be a problem.
