Help me choose a card pls OC :)

Hi there, I built my rig back in Jan and now have the dosh to get me a nice card to set it up proper for gaming.

My budget is £200 and I want to be able to play black ops 2 at high settings.

My monitor can do 1680 x 1050. If I get a card that can do better, will it just be the monitor I need to upgrade?

Asus P868z pro gen 3
Intel i5 2500k unlocked
8Gb Corsair ram
800Watt corsair psu

Almost does the same as the 7870 RJC posted, but for 3/4 the price but with ~92% of the performance-that's £50 towards a new 1080p monitor.

You won't notice the difference.

Being cod, I can't say i've looked at any videos etc on BO 2 but i'd imagine it wont be the best graphically.

7850 would be more than enough i'd think, even if you upgraded to a 1080p monitor.

Even with DX11 on B-Ops 2 doubt it will tax the GPU anymore than the first one.

My friend was rocking a HD5770 and playing maxed details @1080 lol
In short, a HD7850 (moreso when clocked) will be fine! Save the money like "Tommy" said.
