Hey guys, I am going to buy a new gaming rig in about 2 weeks and I need your advice about the GPU. I can afford one of these two cards:

Gigabyte HD 7970 OC:

or

Sapphire HD 7970 OC:

I mainly play Battlefield 3, Crysis 3, Medal of Honor: Warfighter and GTA:IV. I need the card that can max out all these games (mainly BF3) and get the most FPS possible. My resolution is 1680x1050.

The rest of the rig:
Intel Core i5 3570k OC @ 4,4Ghz
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler
AsRock Z77 Extreme4-M Mobo
Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 Dual Channel @ 1600Mhz
WD 1TB Caviar Blue HDD
Kingston 120GB SSD
Cooler Master GX 750 Watt PSU
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
