Only the GHz edition of 7970 is better than the GTX 670 and the above mentioned card is not GHz edition!

Get the GTX 670 without a doubt.
 
Some points to note :

1. The difference between the 7970 and the 7970 Ghz edition is basically the clock speeds. So just overclocking the 7970 would make it perform like the 7970 Ghz Edition, so you need not worry there at all.

2. The 7970 has 3GB VRAM v/s the 2GB VRAM on the 670.

3. Also there is no reason to recommend the 670 when similarly powerful 760 can be had for much lesser.

4. The wider bus in the 7970 i.e 384 Bit bus is of course better than the one is 670(760) which is 256 bit.

Now the most important point :

5. The 7970 is still overpriced in India because there are never any price drops on computer parts in India.

The 280x costs 300 dollars in the US, but after the import tax and hell lot other taxes it would cost about 400 dollars in India and 400 dollars equate to about 25,000 rupees which would still be a hell lot cheaper than the 7970 that you are paying for right now.

So my advice would be to wait for the 280x to come to the Indian market and then buy one. Buying the 7970 right now does not makes sense, buying the 670 also does not make sense either. I would better buy a card with 3GB VRAM just to future proof a bit.
 
Or you can limit your frame rates to 60 FPS. It would avoid tearing issues and would also help the GPU to run more efficiently as it would not need to pull unnecessary frames and would also keep the overall temperatures of your rig cool.

The summers in India can be quite hot with temperatures reaching upto 45 degree Celcius in Centeral and North India, so temperatures and airflow matter quite a bit.

My laptop personally runs like 15 degrees warmer at summers when the temperatures are scaling 45 degrees celcius.

Upgrading your PSU is a must before you purchase anything... that iball PSU will surely blow if you try to power a high end card using it... It might damage your components too...
Hence plan your budget accordingly....
