Which video card should I get?

These are the three video cards I am looking at. However, I can't decide on one.

PowerColor PCS+ AX7870 2GBD5-2DHPPV Radeon HD 7870...

PowerColor PCS+ AX7870 2GBD5-2DHPPV

^
Chipset
Chipset Manufacturer AMD GPURadeon HD 7870 GHz EditionCore Clock 1150MHz Stream Processors 1280 Stream Processors
^
Memory
Effective Memory Clock1250MHz (5.0Gbps)Memory Size 2GB Memory Interface256-bit Memory TypeGDDR5.

Or a Amd Radeon 7950 or Nvidia Geforce GTX660Ti? They are all close in performance and I'm looking for Best Bang for Buck. Please let me know, thanks.

I think you would be good with either but if it was me I would lean towards the 7950 because of the extra 1 gb of memory and the extra stream processors.

I would also go 7950, maybe a XFX or Sapphire branded.

HD 7950 would be the better option. Also Sapphire is great.
