My specs are:
Casing: 1) Silverstone Tek GD08B Aluminum Extended ATX / SSI-EEB / SSI-CEB HTPC Computer Case Cases - Black or 2) Corsair 650D ATX Mid Tower

MOBO:ASRock Z77 Extreme6 ATX LGA1155

OS:Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)

This are my ideal choices and i am stuck choosing the graphic card. I have looked into (1)sapphire radeon HD7970 Vapor-x OC version , (2)ASUS cu II 7970 , (3)Gigabyte HD 7970 and other GPUs but i just can't make up my choice. Out of this 3, i prefer the sapphire 7970 above all as many have mentioned the durability and performance stands above the rest.
Due to the fact that i am living in Singapore, my choices are limited as the only reliable online store is amazon . Adding to the fact that my budget is tight, i would really want to make the best choice now. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

P.S.: The links for the graphic cards.

Solution
7970GHz from gigabyte is good. (if you look one card configuration)
If you look best power can have with 400 $ then maybe good buy is go with SLI 760

Not much more than 400 and that is really fast. nVidia did have new drivers week ago so they are about 10% faster than before.

Look this. http://lanoc.org/review/video-cards/6602-gtx-760-sli-results

Seems like now price is bit over 230 / card. So maybe that is just too much. But you can play with one and if that is not going work good enough than you can buy that other card.

This was good price now.

I'd suggest getting the new R9-280x from AMD. It's basically on par with your 7970, but going for 300$ new.

Get either Asus, Saphirre, Gigabyte, or HIS. You really can't go wrong with any of them.
