Hey everyone, so I'm looking to upgrade my GPU for the first time and need some advice before I go through with it. First of all I want to make sure there isn't anything else I need to upgrade with my GPU. Currently my build is:
CPU: i5-2500K
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z68MA
Memory: 8 GB DDR3
GPU: Radeon HD 6870
PSU: 650W
As for the video cards I've ended up finding these three, a Sapphire Radeon HD 7870[1] , a Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 for slightly more but I'm guessing that it would be better for future games that'll come out. Also found another 7850 for much less but even though it has good reviews I'm not sure if it'll perform significantly less. Or should I go with Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660[2] or a GeForce GTX 660 Ti[3] .
They all seem to run pretty similar to me and could run most games pretty nicely. Not sure how much better the 660 Ti is than the 660 but the 660 is cheaper. Or should I go with the 78XX/79XX cards that also look good and include Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider for the 78XX's and Crysis 3 for the 795s which is nice(but if the other cards are better then I can definitely look past the free games). I'm in no rush but don't know how long the deals will last, thanks!
