The 7870, its a great value card and can be had for well under $200 now. I'd go for that!

Go for the HD 7870 since it's better than the HD 7850 and it's worth the little bit extra money

we are talking about 10 more frames per second , so it's much better if you are looking for better future proof .

The 7850 is better value, but obviously the 7870 is faster. I'd say it isn't worth the price hike unless you go for a Tahiti LE 7870, they aren't that much more expensive than a standard 7870 but are way faster.
