Upgrading from Gt 520 Advice needed
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Hey guys, I really need to upgrade my gpu asap and i need your guys opinion and what to choose.
Current Build:
i5 3570k 3.4ghz
Gt 520 2gb Oc from 860 to 1000mhz, 533 to 680
Gigabyte z77x-ud3h
WesternDigital 500gb hdd
G. Skill Sniper 8gb 2x4gb 1866mhz
Ultra 600w
Diablotek eVo
My budget is $250 but if i have to spend 10 to 20 more i might consider it. I'm gonna be playing games like NS2, GTA IV, Planetside 2, Bf3 at 1080p. I've been looking at these cards

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... Gigabyte 7870 Ghz Ed. $240
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... MSI 7870 Hawk Ghz Ed. $250 after rebate
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... MSI 7870 Twin Fr Ed. $250 after rebate
I was wondering if the extra 30-40 for the 7870 be worth it? Also would it be better to wait till Nvidia and Amd come out with the new gpu's and wait for a price drop?

You can consider this one - http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite...
$230 after rebate + about $6 shipping.
The downside is that it has a lower core clock than the ones you listed (1GHz) but can obviously be overclocked. The benefit is that it comes with a better game.
