I posted another thread but it became inactive so I'll repost.:D I have around 150 for a GPU and don't know what to get someone recommended this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-185-MS&groupid=701&catid=56 but I noticed some of the 7850s are more expensive would these out perform the recommended GPU?? My final question is that I need a PSU for my new system and don't know how much wattage to get and someone to estimate one for me. My specs:
Cpu-Fx 6300
CPU cooler-cm hyper evo 212
Ram-patriot viper 3 black mamba 8 GB 1600mhz
Mobo-asrock 970 extreme 3
Hard drive - half a tb (I plan on 1tb)
 
That 7870 will outperform any 7850 at stock. A 500-550w corsair,seasonic or xfx psu will be fine. If you don't want to go over £150 make sure you get a 2gb 7850.
 
Hello again. :D

If you can't stretch to the VTX card I linked in the other thread, then the Black Knight 7870 will still be an excellent choice. :)
 
So even though some 7850s are more expensive than the MSI 7870 the 7870 will still out perform them??
Also would anyone know what settings this card will run b3 dayz diablo 3 crysis 3 etc at on 1080p/720p also would I be able to pick up a 500 - 550 w for about £40?

Some of the more expensive 7850's have probably got factory overclocks applied, which is something that you usually pay a premium for. Yes, the 7870 will out perform them.

Regarding a psu, something like this might be worth getting :

See what others suggest for a psu as well. :)
