What GPU for my new build

[klagera]

Hello, I cant yet decide what graphic card should I buy to finish my build, I have 3 cards to choose from and I want the best money/performance or bang for the buck, I would be happy if i'm able to max all games to..

1 - Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870 Ghz Edition - price: 225 JOD (317 USD)

2 - Sapphire Vapor-x Radeon HD 7950 with boost - price: 300 JOD (423 USD)

3 - Msi Twin Frozer GTX 660 ti OC - Price: 265 JOD (375 USD)

I can't buy any other than these 3 and I wont be able to buy from websites because I live in Jordan and there's some big ass tax (35%) on electronics shipped to Jordan.. anyways here are some info you might want to know:

-USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, Gaming and Gaming

-CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: Radeon HD 4670 and some cheap chines 450W PSU.

-OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS:

Ram : CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1866 Mhz
PSU : XFX Pro series xxx 850w 80 Bronze (850W for xFire/SLI future proofing)

HDD :Western Digital WD Black 1TB 7200 RPM

-OVERCLOCKING: Yes Why not it's a free

-CROSSFIRE: Maybe in the future

-MONITOR RESOLUTION: HD 1080

-ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: When you advice me about any of these cards please check the price difference between it and the other 2 cards and see if it's worth the extra cash, and I would like to be able to MAX all games at this res.
My type of games are Skyrim, COD, Crysis, The witcher, BF3, Dishonored, Dark Souls...

It's included in there with the other Rig info/

PSU : XFX Pro series xxx 850w 80 Bronze (850W for xFire/SLI future proofing)

also do you think the 7950 is worthy of the 120$ over the 7870 Ghz ?

Sorry for late reply but yes it is in my opinion the 7950 is 3gb with 384 bit while the 7870 is 2gb with 256bit or 184 bit i believe the 7950 has more bandwith

But people say the bus-width is just a myth it has no real effect

 

[klagera]

any other thoughts? I would like to see several opinions

Get the 7950. Its the best there.

And Bus width is just a myth. Doesn't matters if 194bit (GTX 660 Ti) or 256bit (7870)

but some people said that the performance difference between the 7870 Ghz and the 7950 is only 15% and it's not worth the extra 130$ :\

 

[Sumukh_Bhagat]

Yup... There is not much difference. But if money is a concern then get the 7870 GHz Edition.

7870 is a beast, so you'll not face any problems till 1080p resolution.

Thanks for the replays

Thats really awesome...!! Get a 7950 (Ghz or Boost Edition).
I don't maybe there is no Ghz edition. But get the Boost edition.
