Hey guys,

Im on the last stage of buying the parts I need to build my pc and was just wondering about the graphics card. I cannot seem to choose which to get. Well, firstly I will be connecting the pc to a 40" samsung ES5500 TV(http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/UN40D5500RFXZA-features) anyway. this is not going to be final as I plan to buy 2 monitors later on this year. anyways, my system is below:

Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - OEM £167.99
Asus P8Z77-V PRO Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £159.98
NZXT Phantom Enthusiast USB3.0 Full Tower Case - Black £109.98
NZXT Hale82 850W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply £99.98
Samsung 128GB SSD 830 Series SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Drive - (MZ-7PC128B/WW) £83.99
Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) £63.98
Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B) £39.95
NZXT Havik 140 CPU Cooler (Socket 1366/1155/1156/775/AM3/AM2+/AM2) £39.59

I am currently stuck between these Graphics Cards:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-275-AS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1673

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-106-GI&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=2379

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-284-AS&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=2379

I do not plan on doing much overclocking on the graphics cards and will probably upgrade and buy the same graphics card when I buy the 2 monitors

PS.
any suggestions of good monitors would also help! thanks

7950 better performance/price.

For the monitor my 27" iiyama has been perfect.

+1 at stock it's already faster, and there is A LOT of head room for overclocking on the 7950, a lot more than on the GTX 660ti.

iiyama Monitors are also very good.
