(In Australian Dollars)
The 4gb Gigabyte 770 goes for $585
The 3gb Gigabyte 780 goes for $830
The 6gb Gigabyte 7990 goes for $885 (down by 300)

Should I grab the 7990 quickly???

If you need to upgrade your GPU, get it because it's price/performance cannot be beat by NVIDIA or by AMD's 9000 launch which won't be happening for some time anyway. I 7990 will outperform both titan, and 680 without a question in every program not run by NVIDIA, (insert Batman Arkham City here). But if you don't really need to upgrade I would caution against spending money that isn't required to be spent. But if need an upgrade and are debating about upgrading or waiting, upgrade because the price of the next generation will put you in the position...

Amd will be releasing new graphics cards soon so if you are big into getting the best and latest and greatest I would wait.

If you just want a really good card for the time and need it now I would get the 7990 apparently most of the problems they had are fixed now so it would be super powerful and reliable.

If you wait for the new Amd cards the flagship model will be slower then the 7990 anyways and probably cost as much so you might be better off with 7990 unless you have the money to crossfire the new Amd cards.

Good luck!

But if need an upgrade and are debating about upgrading or waiting, upgrade because the price of the next generation will put you in the position you are in now; Spend an equal amount of money for less performance or get the 7990. And when the new series gets launched those 7990s will be sold up and no longer be seeded, so now's your chance. AMD 13.8 drivers has made all the fixes that 7990 needed, so it should be a pretty good experience; make sure that PSU can run it, I believe you'll need 2 8 pins, and the thing sucks up like 600w on load.

Actually I got a 2 last questions before I confirm my order on the net.

1. Is gigabyte a good choice or should i spend $100 more for Sapphire?
2. So if I get it, Do I have to change my build, (like the PSU or fan?)
(The PSU i have is 4-pin?)
And also, the gigabyte doesn't have HDMi :( (But that should be fine)

+ RAM : 2*4gb Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz $99
+ HDD : 3TB seagate barracuda 7200rpm $140
+ CPU : i5 4670k $269
+ GPU : AMD HD 7990 Gigabyte 6GB $899
+ SSD : Samsung 250GB 840 Evo $214
+ Mobo: ASRock Z87-EXTREME4 $189
+ PSU : Corsair 850W HX850 $229
+ CASE: CM Storm Trooper $189
+ COOL: H110 Water Cooler $149

+ IPS 27" 1440p ASUS PB278Q $625

thanks guys

Yes your build will run a 7990 no problem. Loads should be about 400 watt from the gpu leaving 450 for a everything else and there aint much else. CPU only draw 150 watts with a 4.5 OC. So you got another 300 watts free and clear, go for the 7990 if you think its a good deal. As far as one 7990 over another, there is no difference. They are all reference amd cards. If you can choose, get an MSI or ASUS reference card because they generally don't lock voltages and give you good control over the GPU. But if they are more expensive there is no point in going with them.
