I am going to be buying a new system in a few days and have everything figured out (I think) except for the video card. I am trying to choose between a Radeon 6950 $230, a Radeon 7950 $290, and a nvidia 660 ti $265. My main concern is playing WoW and I would like to choose a cards which fits well with the system I am building. I am also open to new suggestions regarding similar cards if they are able to be bought for under $350. Current build follows. This build while close is also not quite final so suggestions in general are also welcome.

CPU Cooler- Noctua NH-D14
MB-Asus p8277-v lga1155
Ram-Kingston 4x4gb Quad channel 1600mhz

The 7950 would be the best deal if you were to choose between those 3, but I'd honestly suggest a 7870 instead.

If you mainly play wow then nvidia works better with their engine.
8700K (5GHz) - Z370 M5 - Mugen 5 - 16GB Tridentz 3200MHz - GTX 1070Ti Strix - NZXT S340E - Dell 24' 1440p (165Hz)

Blizzard games tend to work bit better with Nvidia cards, but 660ti is overkill for D3/SC2/WoW.
6950 is bad idea because it's few years old already at this point, unless you can find really good firesale to get rid of the old crap.Never going to log into this garbage forum again as long as calling obvious troll obvious troll is the easiest way to get banned.
Trolling should be.

I have been looking at many different comparisons of the cards I listed and the 660 ti is looking better and better especially if I plan to try out some other games.

I chose the Asus Geforce GTX 660 Ti DirectCU 2 TOP for one of my systems. WoW is a blast with it, but surely overkill (running over 100 fps in ultra mode
). But this card has to last at least 2 years, so I didn't want something that is already out of date...

Although $10 over your suggested price, you can pick up a GTX 670 also. I don't know how it compares to a 660 ti, but it's what I ended up buying for my system. I play more demanding games than WoW however
