Radeon 7870 Ghz or GTX 660 sc (Super clocked)

[bayleynator]

Hi all, so as the title suggests, I need an answer to this question: Powercolor Radeon 7870 Ghz edition or EVGA Geforce GTX 660 SC (Super clocked) also the GTX 660 is 20$ more and I plan to play graphically intensive games such as Arma 3, Arma 2, Battlefield 3 perhaps 4, simcity etc hopefully at a decent FPS too.

Please bare in mind that I live in New Zealand so prices here for components are much more expensive starting from an extra $150 for a mid range GPU's compared to the US and I can't order from Newegg because most US based PC stores either don't ship to NZ or shipping prices are ridiculous.

Now so far I've only ordered a HAF 912 and an Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 socket 1155 so I plan to get either an i5 3570k or a 2500k, (Suggestions here would be nice) I will be OCing btw and I'm still not sure on the PSU (Suggestions please)

if you need to check the NZ prices head over to this site; www.pricespy.co.nz

I should mention I will have about 600 within the next few months so I won't be ordering right away also I'm 13 so if you see any poor choices of components just blame it on my age.

Thanks!

hmmm k so the gtx 660 SC is faster in battlefield 3 and the 7870 is faster in far cry 3 but the gtx 660 SC is not a good overclocker i would suggest you go with the 7870

7870XT is the best choice..
As fast as 660Ti, with much less money..and this card even trail 7950 in many benchmark..
