Which GPU should I choose?

[Shadeslayer110]

Which GPU will be better? I would like it to be in my PC and play many video games and edit videos. Games will be such as ESO, Titanfall, Skyrim, Dark Souls 2, and Smite.

GPUs are ASUS GTX660-DC2O-2GD5 GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-Bit and ASUS Radeon HD 7870 (HD7870-DC2-2GD5-V2) 2048MB PCIe Gen 3.0

Rest of my PC build is Processor: Intel i5 4670k ($210)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance ($85)
Motherboard: ASUS Z87 PLUS ($160)
Hard Drive :WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Drive
($60)
SAMSUNG 840 EVO 120 GB ($90)
Optical Drive: Asus 24x DVD-RW Serial-ATA Internal ($23)
Power Supply Unit: Antec HCG M Series HCG-620M 620W ATX12V ($60)
Heatsink Fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO ($35)
Case: NZXT Phantom 410 ($100)

Straight up between the two, the 7870 is the more powerful, I went through this dilemma quite awhile back, and ended up going 7870, glad I did, then kicked up to a 660TI a few months later (the joys of them constantly coming out w/ new cards, followed w/ a 760, then a 280X and currently a pair of 780s (SLI)

Ok, so will it run most games I want at ultra/high settings with very little/no lag and I can edit videos with no problem?

7870 will do do well for you, would only be looking for high overall, will do some to ultra...a lot will depend on the rest of your rig and your monitor(s)

The rest of my rig is listed above, and have not selected a monitor yet.

Had a small window open, sorry, yeah though, the rest looks good

It's ok, thanks for your help. I cannot find this gpu online for sale anywhere for USA, so if you can help me find it from a trustworthy site, I would be grateful.

Newegg.com, but I would highly recommend the GTX 700 series from Nvidia, generally I trust EVGA to be the best. Normally I don't have brand preference, but only when it comes to GPU's. But for a more accurate recommendation whats the budget for your GPU choices?

Newegg should be getting a shipment this coming week, and Fry's is saying they will have them by 4 Apr

I am looking for a gpu around $200-$230. Nothing more than that.

If that's the case, check out this guy. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487028
It's one of my personal favorites, the advantage is this card uses a new architecture for the GPU, basically splitting the workload between multiple cores like a CPU would, without having to run a dual GPU card. In all cases it usually outperforms all other mid range cards from previous generations by about 20 to 30 FPS while having lower power draw and slightly lower temps. Plus if you really want an asus, they have a model of this card too, just a small difference between the EVGA and theirs with the clock speeds.

I don't really care what brand it is, just the quality. Can this card accomplish what I want from a gpu which is listed above?

Alright! Thanks so much for your help!

Might check them out, the 660 and 7870 you were looking at both outperform the 750TI in most every review
