Best GPU at this Price Range

No problem.

To elaborate a little more, the GTX 660 TI was the better card when both of them first came out, but AMD has made some awesome drivers recently which has boosted the 7870's performance ahead of the 660 TI. With the new 7870 XT, the performance will be even better than a regular 7870.

Im just thinking so much right now lol. I have went onto another forum and asked how this guy's 660ti runs games, and he plays games that I will be playing (BF3, Black Ops 2). He says he has no problems maxing out games and getting good-high framerate. So thats why I was leaning toward a 660ti and because of the benchmarks that I linked.

But now, i dont really know. I just want something that will do me good in some rendering, recording, streaming, and just playing games in general. I will be rendering my videos, recording them (I would like a high FPS on this), streaming black ops 2 and maybe some minecraft, and finally just playing my games that I want to play. What I am really trying to say here is I just want the best bang for my buck in these situations.

I really appreciate your help guys, means alot!

Well if you're going to be doing rendering work, then Nvidia is the way to go. AMD is better for just straight gaming. You're going to pay a decent amount more for Nvidia though.

Okay, well then nVidia it is. Thanks for all your help guys!

Since you are going Nvidia, then I would highly encourage you to go with the 660 TI. The 560 Ti is still a decent card, but it doesn't perform anywhere near the 660 TI.

I think i am going to get the 660 ti. I found a way to get a few extra bucks in my budget. Thanks for all your help. 

And BTW, do you have any brands that you know produce the best cards? Thanks!

As far as Nvidia goes, EVGA, MSI, and ASUS are probably the best. I've heard Galaxy is pretty good too, but I personally wouldn't go with a Galaxy card.

I tend to prefer MSI because they have the best dual slot cooler out of all of them, which can be nice for overclocking and just keeping things cool. They have some really nice power delivery designs on their Lightning and Hawk edition cards as well, which will also allow for better overclocking.

EVGA is nice because they have a lifetime warranty.

ASUS is nice because they have some beefy triple slot coolers that do a really good job at keeping things cool, and they also have really good power delivery for overclocking. I don't usually go with ASUS though, because I think triple slot cards are way too bulky, especially if I'm planning to use SLI.

I would personally grab one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127697
