first time buyer help

[bentnose555]

Hi,
Im a first time buyer of a graphics card as im building my own pc for the first time.

i will be running a i5 3570k with 8gb ram and was wondering which graphics card to get.

i have around £230 but could go to £250 if i will get a better card. i was looking at 7870 or gtx 570 any tips on which is better and which brands of the card to buy would be appreciated.

i will be overclocking in the future if that helps

Will probably be the best value graphics card only slightly above your £230 budget. You get 3 games free, and it's a nicer performer.

Yeh it's got to be between the 7950 & 660 to on that budget.
I'm no graphics card guru so I'll say no more really.part from liking the deal already mentioned.7950 prob over clocks better then
660 from what I've read & better with AA and high res.

7950 is touching 670 level plus it's got way more overclocking headroom than the 660, so I will definitely recommend 7950 too.
