HD7950 for ~300-310.

Is the HD7970 not a little over the top for 1650x1080?

 

.... and by the way Booze is not good!

What is the most you have to spend? The 7970 would be overkill but if you're a person that keeps his parts around until they just can't give a playable experience anymore, it may be worth considering

 

Is the 5870 not cutting it or are you a person that likes to max settings every game and isn't happy unless every slider is to the right?
