I am building a gaming computer and staying under $1000. This is my set up so far:

ASUS M5A97 R2.0
Rosewill Stallion Series RD700 700W
AMD FX-8350
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB
Windows 7

I can't decide on the XFX Double D FX-787A-CDFC Radeon HD 7870 or the SAPPHIRE DUAL-X 100365BF4L Radeon R9 270 2GB. I have read through many forum posts here and still can't decide.

I am just getting into computer gaming so not sure what games I would be playing but Titan Fall, Skyrim, Battle Field and Left For Dead all look interesting to me and these would be the type of games I would play. But really the first game I would play would be the beta for DayZ. I also play Counter-Strike but that doesn't require much power.

Any input on any of my parts would be appreciated but mainly input on the GPU.

I would think about OC but maybe down the road a little bit.

Thanks!
