How about the gtx 660?

If you're gonna play Wow then go with Nvidia.

I've looked at the gtx 660, but my budget won't stretch. I'm having to upgrade the psu witha 700w corsair. I don't trust cheap psu so cutting back on the card.

Ok in that case I think you should still get good performance. A good quality psu is a smart choice.

You don't need 700W and you don't need Corsair. Antec 430W PSUs are legit and run around $40 http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/power-...&w=400&sort=a7

The 650 and the 7750 are approximately equivalent http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/A...rmance/20.html but I'd definitely consider moving up to the 7770 or 650 Ti if you can save some money by going with a cheaper PSU. If you can save a lot of money, then the next step up would be 7850.

Hierarchy goes like this:
7750 ~ 650 < 7770 ~ 650 Ti < 7850 < 7870 ~ 660

I would pass on PowerColor as a manufacturer though: http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/...uide/Guide.png

Between your two choices the 650 is the better choice, but if you have a source of income I'd recommend waiting and getting a card in a higher price range.

Got a 650ti and it runs 70-90 fps on wow ultra

Thank you for the informative reply. One of the links mentioned a psu calculator, it opened my eyes to how much power I would be wasting. I've decided to go for a 500w psu and go for a 650ti :-)
