I don't know if the prices are the same in the uk, but you should be able to get a 7870 for that price. I personally like msi.

ok 😀

get the 7870 le if you're buying one of those cards. It's roughly the same price and a lot better performance.

7870 ghz is better, and get the 7870 LE/XT if you can. It has more common with hd 7950 than hd 7870

Get the 660 gtx gigabyte, it's a good card.
Here's some recent article of the 660 gtx vs 7870 : http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/4041/7/amd-radeon-hd-7870-ghz-edition-vs-nvidia-geforce-gtx-660-frametimes-review-conclusion

I'll get the gtx660 gigabyte. That is pushing the budget and it's better than the 7850 that I was going to buy so I'm happy with that. :-D
