I'm helping a friend build his first rig (~$500 budget) and came across what seems to be a pretty good deal on a 7870 GHz edition. My only concern is that it seems to be a new model with no reviews, so I'm wondering if anyone might have some thoughts on the finer details. I've never been an expert on the subject and it's been a year since I bought my last card, so I'm probably a bit dated on things and what counts as a good deal at this point.

I'm sure its works great, but generally speaking, when it comes to a gpu you should gp with the mainstream brands.

For 20 more bucks you can pick up an EVGA, Msi or Asus version.

They usually have better warranties, customer support and oc, sc and ftw versions

Hope this helps :D
