Possible GPU Upgrade

[Loxa]

Hey, i'm possibly thinking about upgrading my GPU from my current ASUS 6850 but i'm not 100% sure whether its worth it or not. My budget would be £200 (ive been looking at the AMD 7870)

Few specs if needed:

i7 3770k @ 4.4

8GB ram

asrock z77 extreme board

OCZ 700w

*Games i mainly play are Black ops II/Tera Online/Metro 2033/League of Legends/DayZ

7870 is a good upgrade... though for £40 more I'd have this....

YOUR BASKET
1 x MSI HD 7950 Twin Frozr III Boost Edition 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with Crysis 3 & Bioshock PC Games £239.99
Total : £250.79 (includes shipping : £9.00).

That'll be a nice upgrade. Since it sits between 7870 and 7950 performance, I think you'll see an average of 'around' twice the performance of your 6850. Overclocking will push it even further forward.

Been taking a look at this since a lot of people on the forum speak highly of it, its out of my budget but maybe i can spare abit more cash
