So I've been looking for a graphics card to buy with my birthday money, May 5th is my birthday btw. Here's the card I ordered.
Cost me £228 with postage. For those of you in the US it cost me $369.77

It's beautiful. ♥

I'm like a crushed light bulb, all out of shine.
I'm so scared of the future so I stay stuck, broken in to pieces and my spirit's all taped up.

DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS MEMBER
Damn, I wish I had a graphics card half as good as that. You're one lucky man.
I really like the design and heat sink. Make sure to post your overclock with it.
That's a good medium-high graphics card you have there mate, should last you a while.

Already comes overclocked at 975Mhz.

Good buy, XFX is one of the best brand names. Also I never own a card like this, but I would think the two fans will be a little nosier, but cools better.

Noise isn't really a problem for me, I don't mind it. Also the cooling on this card is meant to be insane.

Unfortunately here the 7870 here is an extra £40-£60 so around $70 $100 more..

You can easily OC that GPU to around 1.1-1.3Ghz.
I am an nVidia guy but I can respect your purchase. (Hence my name SLI Pc) I need an upgrade so bad. I have been using my GTX 550Ti's in SLI since they came out. I really want a GTX 690 when they come out. But they cost as much as a used car so yea :/.
Back on topic Nice card!

I really did want to go Nvidia but I decided on the AMD/Crossfire route, power consumption is so much better.
