H guys and girls,

Im making my first pc build, and I've set aside £150 for a graphics card. The ones I'm looking at right now are:

MSI N750Ti TF 2GD5/OC
XFX Radeon HD 7870 2GB Video Card
MSI NVIDIA GTX 750Ti PCI-E Gaming Graphics Card + £90 In Game Credit
Asus AMD Radeon HD 7790 DirectCU II OC
Gigabyte NVIDIA GTX650Ti 2GB DDR5 PCI-E Graphics Card

Which one of these is the best? I thought the 750ti would be best but I keep finding that cheaper then the 650.

ANY help would be recommended.

P.S Im hoping to use this motherboard
Asus M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard (AMD 970/SB950, 4x DDR3, S-ATA 600, ATX, PCI-Express 2.0, USB 3.0, USB BIOS Flashback, Windows 8 Ready, Socket AM3+)

If anyone can recommend components that would be great!

You can also look at the R9 270 series of cards. Essentially the same underneath as the 7870 but with lower core clock speeds and lower cost. I've heard that they can be easily overclocked to meet the speeds of the 7870/270x.

The 7870 GHz is essentially a 270X, but is a little cheaper if you can find one.
 


True but most of the time isn't the 270X Cheaper? Same went with the 7890/280x.
