GTX 650 ti or radeon 7850?

[uke22]

Hello folks,
I was wondering whether to get the EVGA gtx 650 ti with an i7 or a radeon 7850 with an i5. I understand the i7 is more future proof but what FPS would I get on arma 2, DayZ and planetside 2 etc with these specs.
Cheers.

darn it I was gonna say 7850 no brainer but then you said you would be playing those games witch are definitely cpu intensive games so its actually quite a tight decision if your gonna overclock like crazy go for 7850 if not go for 650ti

I would like to tell you as a headsup, that you should not post on toms hardware if you have no idea what you're talking about. CPU intensive = CPU, not GPU.

OP, go for the 7850. Will beat the 650ti 10/10.

Especially with the new Catalyst drivers, the 7850 wins easily.

P.S. Just wondering, if you went to school. Your grammar is rather sad.

I5 and 7850. Get a $35 cpu cooler and OC if u find you're being held back.
