So I'm on Dell.co.uk looking for new PC Desktop, but getting confused by the graphics cards! >.<

This any good?

PROCESSOR: Intel® Core? i7-2600 Processor (3.40GHz, 8MB)

MEMORY: 6144MB Dual Channel DDR3 1333MHz [2x2048 + 2x1024] Memory

GRAPHICS CARD: NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 560 1.25GB DDR5 Graphics Card

my other choices are:

AMD Radeon? HD 6770 1GB DDR5 graphics [subtract £120.00]
NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 560 1.25GB DDR5 Graphics Card [Included in Price]
AMD Radeon? HD 6870 1GB DDR5 Graphics Card [subtract £50.00]
AMD Radeon? HD 6950 2GB DDR5 Graphics Card [add £120.00] (seems expensive, £240)

I'm looking to play games like:
Dead Rising 2,
Assassin's Creed (all of them),
Resident Evil 5,
Sims 3,
Left 4 Dead,
Final Fantasy XIV Online

Will the selected card be good for all that and more to come? I'll be using the desktop with a HDTV for awhile, so will be in either 720p or 1080i res.

Also, it'll be Windows 7, its a XPS 8300 desktop. I'll be more then willing to change the graphics card next year, but just want to make sure I get my moneys worth for the time being.

looking at the number you will be better off with the GTX 590 as it has more power then HD6950 in every department :)
