so I have been looking around through several forums without quiet finding out what I wanted to know so I'm making this post here 
I want to upgrade from my 7870 to a 7950
(reason is because the Ghz edition from sapphire seems to be bugged or something ;/ well it never really worked properly also made a post about it:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/119287-13-hd7870-usage
now for the actual part I was worrying about since I already decided to ditch my 7870
I have the FX 8120 overclocked to 4 Ghz and my PSU is the Corsair CX600W
I wanted to know 2 things will I get any kind of "bottleneck" due to power consumption? because I also want to overclock my GPU (7950) when I have it (was aiming for 1000/1400)
other question would be which one(brand) you guys would suggest me
I loved my sapphire 6870 but since my sapphire 7870 was kinda messed up I thought about the gigabyte one.
I'm mainly gaming on my pc but I'm also editing videos a lot since I like to do youtube stuff mainly playing bf3 atm will also play lots of bf4 but pretty much every other shooter might end up on my HDD.
My PC Specs
AMD FX8120 Zambezi 3,1GHz Oc to 4.0 Bulldozer
Corsair H60
Kingston 8Gb ram
Sapphire Radeon HD 7870
Western Digital 500GB
Seagate Barracuda 1000GB (storage)
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3
Corsair CX 600W
Sharkoon t9
extra infos:
Recording with Action Mirillis 1080p @ 60fps (dunno if that's relevant somehow)
also I want to play at 1080p with 60+fps on high/medium settings (no AA)
here is also my channel if that's helping somehow
