Hi guys,

Im currently deciding on purchasing a GPU for my custom build and this would complete my build for now.

I currently have the follwoing build and looking for advice

i53750K
GIGABYTE Z77-D3H (only supports crossfire)
2 TB western digital
4 gig corsair vengeance 1600mhz ram (looking to get anther 4)
GMC-H80 case
Cosair CX600
LG 23inch passive 3D display monitor with tridef software (1980*1080/60mhz)


I might possibly upgrade to an SSD as well in the future but the most important thing now is getting a GPU. In the future I would also like to play with an additional two monitors SO THE CARD i TAKE MUST BE FUTURE PROOF.


Yes it is for gaming and the occasional video editing. As I do want to upgrade in about another 5 years I came from an intel celeron 2.4ghz geforce FX5600 cannot remember the board so this only my ever proper Custom built machine.

Im currently deciding between these cards 7870, 7850 or 660GTX my budget is 3k no more at all.

Your input and experiences will be much appreciated. Im looking to purchase either from evetech or takealot as they seem to have the cheapest prices.

I would like to play on very high to ultra settings at least about 45 fps upwards.

Thanks guys
 
@ saint_dee ...Wow that is a great deal and it looks very tempting!!!! Is power color reliable brand though..
 
Maybe look for 2nd hand card on carbonite, looks like some people are selling some good cards
Might help your budget and future proofing
 
7950 is def the way to go now especially with the current pricing on them.

On a side note, I have a spare Asus DCII V2 Ghz edition in its packaging laying here if anyone is keen :P
R2500 full 3 Year warranty and comes with a choice of a game.

By when do you need to sell it?

I take it you mean a 7950?
 
I bought the MSI 7950 TwinFrozr 3GB on Joker's recommendation, absolutely love it! Good to be able to play games on full details at 1080 res. Loving this card so much, considering buying another one and going XFire!

I'm also considering buying another one... Just for the sake of it :D
 
I wish I had the money for a Titan GTX. But am stuck with another ok card, got it for cheap 2 years ago. 550ti GTX for a Measily R1300.
