Right now this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131487 is on sale for ~$210, and comes with 4 free games. This card features the tahiti le gpu's of the 79** series, and performs about 1-5% worse than a 7950. This would most definitely be worth the extra $60.
If you are willing to spend the extra, personally I would prefer the card that Norlag linked, better performance for a similar price. Powercolor is kind of known for being a budget brand, but I've had a few cards by them and it seems pretty similar to other brands I have.

I prefer Asus over sapphire. It comes down to brand preference, really. Asus has amazing customer support, and the direct cu ii cooler on that card is whisper silent and cools amazingly + it matches your cooler scheme
, I have owned a Asus 7970 with direct cu ii cooling before. Its so quiet!TRENDING THREADS
