    Xfx 7870 xt (fx-787a-cnac)

    I was going to buy a Sapphire 7870 XT for £218 (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/sapp...ard-111992020g) but saw this XFX with the same specs for £161 (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-...ard-fx787acnac), is there any reason I shouldn't go with the XFX? Is there a better graphics card available in the £200 range? It will be with a new i5, 16GB RAM and will be used mostly for WoW and future MMO's

    No, there isn't, but i didn't even realize XFX made a 7870 XT? Like, fairly sure only Powercolor and Sapphire make them, so this seems a bit fishy. perhaps someone can chime in and tell me i'm a lemming.

    Yeah I think XFX made a couple of those aswell. It has the same amount of streamprocessors as the 7870 XT from sapphire.

    I would go for it.

    They did, but only for Aria Computer Systems. It's an exclusive model.

    Yep. The "FX-787A-CNAC" model number means it's an Aria PC only card. I looked it up a while back and it's the actual code for the card, only to be sold through Aria.
