I purchased a 7870 Hawk, but it turns out that its out of stock and won't be coming back..I'm thinking about throwing in another $30 bucks to get it switched with a MSI GTX 660 ti or cancelling the order.

I'm leaning towards just cancelling the order and buying it from a different place.

What do you guys think?

Do you have any better ideas or recommendations for me?

I'm looking for a card under $300 with nice aesthetics and good enough performance..

Thanks =]

I grabbed a 7950 Boost state for $269.99 after a $30 mail-in rebate and a $113.99 instant rebate. You can find a 7950 for just at or under $300, and these are more than enough for running today`s games. I was also torn between a 660ti and a 7950, but what sold me was the 3gb frame buffer that the 7950 had over the 660ti`s 2gb.

Keep your eyes out for a good sale and you`ll have no problem grabbing one!

7950 is a good choice.

I have a MSI 660Ti and I love it. Runs great and looks really cool!
