Hi , I'm thinking of getting a mid-high level GPU to play games, and help in photo and video editing. I don't really want to spend to much , but if its money well spent, and something that will be more "future proof" , then so be it.
I was thinking of a 570 , but a newer , evga , 660Ti is cheaper at £225 on Scan.

The SC version is £70 more, but theres the FTW version with what looks like non - ref cooling for £240

Then there's the 670 , which ( I was basing this on that fact that a 660Ti was £250 ) was a little bit more , at £300 , which has that bigger memory bus [ not sure how much of a difference this makes ] and is about 10-25 FPS better than a 660Ti.
I also just saw this signature 670 with dual fan cooling ...

Now though , I'm not sure if it's worth £75 more than a more than capable 660Ti....
Help?
Specs:
i5 3750k @ 3.4 ( might OC it soon )
Asus P8Z77 V-LX
Corsiar Vengeance 8GB @ 1600
Windows 7 64-bit
Playing on a Dell Ultrasharp @ 1900 x 1200 .
CM Storm Enforcer + mabye additional 200mm top fan
Don't really want to spend more than £300, the cheaper 660Ti means I can get a new mouse/keyboard and still keep the both of them under that 300
