[Help] Picking a new graphics card?

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

Hey guys... this is my first graphics card purchase and I want to get the right one :/ 
I'm torn right now between the MSI Radeon HD 7770 and the MSi GTX 650.
They're both $70 after rebate at Newegg. (The 7770 is $70 at TigerDirect too I believe).
However, the GTX comes with Assassins Creed III and another game that I forgot the name of.

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Before November 27. (That's when Newegg's sale ends for the HD 7770 and GTi 650)

BUDGET RANGE: USD $80-100 after rebate

USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming - Black Ops 2, League of Legends, Saints Row, I might be interested in Crysis, Halo 4, Assassins Creed III. I occassionally watch movies on my computer.

CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: ATI Radeon HD 4200 intergrated w/ 250W power supply (will be upgrading power supply to 450W)

OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: Processor is AMD Athlon 640 II Quad-Core 3.0Ghz. 4GB Ram. 1TB Storage. The desktop model is HP p6710f.

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Doesn't really matter. As long as it's a trusted site.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: United States

PARTS PREFERENCES: I don't really have a preference. Whatever runs the best for the money.

OVERCLOCKING: Yep

SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Doesn't matter.

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 17-inch LCD 1024 x 768. I'm upgrading to a 26-inch 1080p TV Monitor soon.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I just want a new card. I'm an average gamer. Anything else you guys need to know, I'll reply.

Thanks in advance :hello:

You want to avoid the GTX650. The non TI card is much slower then the 7770. It's slower then the GTX550TI, which is slower then the 7770. If its a choice between these two then get the 7770.

I'm not sure what Mohit is talking about. If you can find a GTX650TI for $70 then get that for sure. I haven't been looking at the BF flyers, but its normally a ~$150 card.

GTX 650 has no advantage over 7770. 7770 dominates it completely.

Till yet they haven't started the PC version of Halo 4. So, I guess it will never come in future too. Microsoft wants people to buy Xbox to play Halo.
