Which darn Graphics card !

[TryMeOk]

Hi all ,

I've been saving up for a few weeks now to buy a new GPU and have become overwhelmed with the choices I have available ! My budget is in and around £350 / $530 .
My PSU is only 550 watts which is something I have to be careful of as my rig is in a modded Mac G5 case (The PSU gets chopped up and put in the G5 PSU casing if anyones interested) I'd rather not have to buy new one . As far as I'm aware the choices are :

670
680
590
770
7970

I'd love a 590 but obviously it would be second hand! , Can someone please point me in the right direction ?
I only game on my windows machine at 1080p but eventually will be upgrading my monitor to a 2560x1440.

Thanks a lot in advance !!

Gtx 770.

Can you tell me why though ?

Because you can use CUDA if you need to.

It costs around as much as a GTX 680 but it's better as it's a suped-up GTX 680, that's a no-brainer.

It uses around 250 watts of power when throttled.

And it's NVIDIA.

You can check this as evidence:
