well if you check tom;s review than the better price/performance option would be the hd 7970 cuz the difference between them is like 2-3% not noticible and the 7970 is cheaper and comes with 4 free games BioShock Infinite, Crysis 3, Far Cry 3, and Tomb Raider
so get the 7970

It's a close call. The 7970 is much better value for money once you factor in the games it's bundled with. On the other hand, if you want to upgrade with an additional card in the future, the 770 is the best choice.
