Hmm I think you'd need to spend a bit more than that to ensure your PC will handle next gen games in the next few years. 4GB of system is not really ideal and although the GPU would be fine for next year or so.. once games start to use more VRAM, it might become a limiting factor. I'd opt for something more substantial in GPU power like an GTX760 or HD7950.

Also can't forget other stuff like; OS, keyboard, mouse, controller and optical drive. :)

7870xt beats the 7950. Look it up...

Eh, they cost about the same from Newegg ~ $260-270. 7950 has 1GB more VRAM, 384-bit bus vs 256, has a higher shader count and can be overclocked more. 7950 is probably the safer card to pick.
