What are the pros and cons of each, and which one of the two should I get? They are both the same price after rebate.

I bought the GTX 650 and its an excellent little card. Here's why i bought it:
1- low power consumption vs competing cards at that performance level
2- fps cap using nvidia inspector
3- game profiles
4- physX
5- nvidia 3d
6- i run mine passively cooled so it makes no noise.
Im really happy with it however iv not used a radeon card since the 5000 series so don't really know what they have to offer.
OP why are you picking an entry level GPU to go with a unlocked core i5 based PC. In fact if you are short on cash I would suggest a core i5 CPU with H77 motherboard and get a HD 7950. you will get massive gaming performance. HD 7950(1.1 Ghz) matches HD 7970 Ghz and will be 2.5x - 2.7x the perf of HD 7770.

a stock cooler is enough for core i5. so you save 110 bucks. The ANTEC 300 is a very nice cabinet. spacious and with good cooling. 45 bucks (30 after mail in rebate).

with the saved money get a PCS+ HD 7870 (1.1 Ghz)

I wonder why the highend cpu coupled with a entry level gpu. I guess gaming is not a priority.
Anyway if the 7770 fits your needs, go ahead.
well you backed yourself into a corner a bit by skimping so badly on the psu. that is the entry level series and makes relatively little power on the 12v line and is also rated at unrealistic temps. for 15-20 bucks more you could have bought a way better unit suited towards a gaming pc.It was cheap. What do you guys suggest I get?
