If you can add an extra £40, get the 7950, otherwise it'll be the 7850.

I would get this, although you would need to buy an adapter to run it off a vga monitor.

Either one really, if you have a personal preference.
Here's a comparison:

As you can see, the GTX660 wins, however the 7850 has a lot of overclocking potential in comparison to the GTX660 IIRC.

VTX3D AMD Radeon 7870 Black for £180..it is a limited edition card as it uses the Tahiti core found in the 7900 series cards..so only 2% slower than the 7950..should be labelled a 7930 really
