CPU & GPU Advice NEEDED !!!!!!!

[thelastsolidsnake]

I need help deciding which processor would be able to keep up with the AMD Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 OC edition. The CPU needs to be below $270.

I was thinking of something along the lines of a Intel core i5 3570k, or a AMD Phenom 2

i5-3570k will be your best bet! What about the new gtx 670?
