7870....thread closed 
seriously though, the 570 isnt worth it. Also a 650w would be EASILY enough power for a 7870 or actually any card as long as its a decent PSU. As said before a decent 650 will easily handle 2 680's/670's in SLI. 7970's in Xfire i would go for a 750w. But thats going a little off topic.
Misleading advice indeed.

It was a sale with rebate that ended on 8/31 unfortunately. It was posted for sale at us.NCIX.com, which turns out to be the lowest costs I've ever seen.

True. The 7870s are great I was about to buy one. After rebate, they are no more than $240.00, anyhow I ended up going with their 7970 instead.

comp if you're trying to save a little money instead of the 6950 go with a 7850 like this.

No, that 7870 was for the OP. I told him I almost went with the 7870 but I personally went with a 7970. But for him, the 7870 from XFX is a great card. Great cooling. Quality. Love XFX
Try to squeeze in an extra $50 and get the 660 TI preferably the MSI 660 TI Power Edition and it's BEAST and is the absolute best BANG FOR THE BUCK RIGHT NOW! absolutely worth the $300 let alone the extra $50 and you will not be disappointed. Plus it is also way more future proof than anything you will ever find on the market to day and it also comes with a free copy of Borderlands 2 which is a $60 value. I got a EVGA 670 FTW in my build and I love it but if i was on a tight budget definitely the 660 TI is they way to go.

Not really the best bang for buck when it's outperformed on average by the $250 7870.

It was the best bang/buck until AMD decided to slash the prices on the 7950, 7870, and 7850 by $50.

Tell me about it, bought the XFX 7970 a few days ago at 449.99 (414.99) after rebate, now they are 414.99 (389.99) after rebate. Pissed, but whatever. Not gonna go through the hassle.
