I recently purchased all components except the graphics card for my gaming rig. I was going to buy an Nvidia GTX660, however upon reearch I found out that the Radeon 7870 was better in most scenarios and was cheaper than the 660. Also, I don't exactly know what Mantle is, but I've heard that ATI cards will benefit from a 40%-50% increase in certain games. This added to my confusion as a couple of hours ago I was thinking about a 660, and now all of a sudden I'm finding the 7870 to be much better package. I have always been an Nvidia guy, however I accept change. Can anyone give an unbiased opinion on these cards and a suggestion which may solve my dilemma? All help will be appreciated, thanks! Sorry for the long question.
My system specs are:

Gigabyte H61M-S1 Motherboard
8GB KIngston RAM
WD Caviar Green 1TB HDD
Samung 22" LED Monitor 1920x1080 (only has a DVI in)
