If budget is top on the list a 7850 2gb is all you need tbh,I've yet to find a game that it struggles with,maybe a little on farcry3 but you can adjust the settings to suit without losing any enjoyment,overclocking is easy as moving the sliders in ccc,and even higher clocks with a mild voltage tweak in sapphire trixx

I have no major gaming issues with mine @ 1050/1375 clocks

If of coarse you can bag a 7870xt or even a 7950 for not much more then go for it,but the 7850 esp using latest beta drivers will serve you well,plus it runs very cool n quiet

Agree with this, only sugested the 7870xt as it is usually on some kind of offer (think the last one was ~ £170)

wouldn't pay the current price though, would rather get a 7950.
