Hi all, I've decided on a i5 3570K with 8GB build but I don't know which card to go for. The 7950 is out of my price budget which is £150, and I have found instead the following on the Clearance section:

YOUR BASKET
1 x **B Grade** KFA2 GeForce GTX 660TI EX OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £149.99
1 x **B Grade** Sapphire HD 7870 XT rev2.0 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with Tomb Raider & Bioshock PC Games £149.99
1 x **B Grade** Gigabyte GeForce GTX 570 SOC WINDFORCE 3X 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-Express G (GX-085-GI) £119.99
1 x **B Grade** MSI HD 6970 OC Lightning 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with FREE Deu (GX-141-MS) £119.99
1 x **B Grade** MSI HD 7850 OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Cards with Tomb Raider & Biosh (GX-191-MS) £119.99



If it helps, I play MMORPGs at 1920x1080 maxed and I have both a XFX 550W and Corsair 500W power supply.

Which should I pick? Regards.

Definitely not any of the last gen cards.

The 660ti is a great card and would be my first pick they still sell for £200 second hand :) and will be enough to max out nearly every game at 1080p 60fps.
7870xt is also great card a may even be a little faster than 660ti when overclocked.

7850 is also good and overclocks well but isn't in the same league as the 7870xt and 660ti.
 
I bought the KFA2 GeForce GTX 660TI EX OC when Gibbo first announced the b-grade deal last night. Their was only 3 of them. I'm sure there gone by now.

Does it not adjust the stock then?

I'm about to buy a card, So if someone else has already bought it first then they take my money then refund it?

Correct. The stock still isn't adjusted yet? I think that's bad on there part really. People will think they still have it.

I bought a Monitor too so If they told me they didn't have it I would ask for a total refund.
 
Cheers. I've most likely lost my chance now as I'm not ordering until tomorrow or Friday. I'm off for the week next week so I want to do my build then. At least I have a better idea now which are the better cards to look for in the Clearance section in the future!

Is the stock updated daily?

And what would be the best brand new card around £150 anyway? As I'm curious in the performance difference and if I should play it safe or take a risk with Clearance stock.
