Still ! need help choosing gpu

hay guys i still need help choosing a gpu 

i live in nz so everything pc part is so EXPENSIVE 

i don't really have a budget because i'm saving up but i was going to get a 7950 but they ae like $450 nz dollars !!!

i might try a 7870 or r9 270x or a gtx 660 but i probley wont get a card any higher than a 7950 or 660ti or 280x because there the around same price.

what card should i get i think i might get a 270x or 7870 for now so i can finish my build and PLAY then get a really awesome card later on 

also i have chosen a fx 8320 or fx 8350 for my build but still haven't chosen for that.

so please say what i should get what is better for the price.

a 7870 and a 270x are the exact same card and a 660 performs almost identically, so get whichever is cheapest out of the 3

(not the best benchmark, but they have a giant index and are easy to understand) http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Radeon+HD+7870 http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+660

If you have a crossfire config in mind for the future you can grab something like a 7870 or 270x and add a second one, if not go for a 7950/7970/670/770/280x.

im going to get a 7870 or 270x i think the they overclock better than a 660.

i doing a build i have chosen a m5a97 evo r2.0 for mobo but i could get the 990 version for crossfire

and thanks for the help i just had no idea what to choose

but what brand for cooling should i get for overclocking

I have an MSI Twin Frozr 7870. Works great and stays cool.

One of these.

is this the same card http://www.amazon.com/MSI-R7870-Twin-Frozr-2GD5/dp/B007NG3WRC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1382831814&sr=8-4&keywords=7870+hawk

also i might get a better card becuse i could buy off amazon and they are way cheaper than nz when i convert the money amazon but they probley wont be able to ship to nz does anyone no ?

That is the same card.

Can't help with the rest of your questions.

The 270x performs better than the 7870. Just putting that out there.

a stock overclocked card beats out it's non overclocked counterpart, stop the presses

This is with the 270x HAWK overclocked. I don't see why you would think that the 270x isn't a good option. It beats the 7950 and when overclocked it approaches the 7970.

im going to hopefully overclock my gpu has much as i can so i what a good cooler im looking at the 7870 msi twin frozr2 or his ice q and 270x hawk and 7950 twin frozr 3 or his ice q

i never said it wasn't a good option, all i said was a 7870 would be an equally good option

you said a 270x was better than a 7870, which it isn't, unless you leave it at stock clocks
