Hi guys
Ive decided to build myself a new desktop for my room since I just finished university and I want to give myself a gift 
!
I havent been keeping up with the recent trends of graphics cards and was wondering if any of you guys can help me out
I do want to game on it but don't want to spend 800$ on gpu
I also heard that the radeons are the better choice, let me know you guys
Thanks!

I have a 7870, it was like 100 euro and is pretty decent.

I have a Radeon 7950 with the Catalyst beta drivers, which outperform the 660 Ti. If you have enough I would get the Radeon 7970, I know 7950 is around $300.

Thanks for the responses guys...
I was looking at the 7950 because 300$ is my price range....decisions decisions

I would say Either between the 660 Ti, 680, or the 7970. They are all good and in the $300 to $500 range

Nonsense. The 660 Ti for example is every bit as good as the 7950.
The problem is that, while both brands are good, everyone has a bias to a certain brand. Even me.
but that's not actually true, I'm not biased either but for that price range 7950 is just better, even 7870s outperform 660 ti s when overclocked
if this was 5xx/6xxx gen I would easily recommend nvidia
or if OP wants to crossfire/sli in the future I'd recommend nvidia since they have better drivers for that
