need advice on graphics card ?

[steveybrown]

hi, i read these forums every now and again but i decided to make an account seeing i needed advice

I built my PC last year but i never put a gfx card in it but i had always planned to.

ill tell you my pc spec first :

ocz mod extreme pro 500w
intel i7 2600k 3.4ghz
asus P8Z68-V Pro / Gen 3
8gb corsair vengeance 1600mhz
1TB WD green

Might be worth pointing out i don't have a cd/dvd drive so might save a bit on power i don't know :S however my case vantage gamers x11 does have 3 fans with 3 LEDs.

I would be playing games like battlefield, dayz etc on a 1080P monitor.

my budget would be around 200, i would be willing to pay 250.

so I'm thinking maybe between:

XFX 7950 3GB Black DD Edition with four free games
£245

or

a GTX 660 Ti, Im not sure on which one tho i was thinking maybe MSI power edition. i seen his for £225

I dont really know a a lot about GFX cards so i would really like recommendations and advice.

thanks

Stay away from XFX in case you need an RMA. That 7950 HIS ICEQ boost for £249.99 would tempt me but it was £229 a couple of days ago. I am sure you could get it cheaper

so would the 7950 be better over the GTX 660 ti, also would my power supply be aple to handle it ?

Yes and Yes
