I've been planning on upgrading my wife's GPU from a nVidia 6600 (or something close to that) for a while and I'm trying to decide between the 7770 and the 7750.
I haven't done a ton of research on the low-end cards of this gen, so I figured I'd just ask
The PSU is solid and can handle either. She'll have a Phenom2 985 (IIRC) with 12GB ram to back it up. She mostly plays casual games, Sims3, and potentially diablo3. She doesn't really care about graphics settings much, but I'd like it to run medium-well at 1680x1050, and probably want to run the card for 4 or 5 years or more.

Are the likely candidates, mostly for the lifetime warranty (I've used a visiontek warranty in the past to get me thru to the 7xxx generation of cards). Money isn't really a problem, and the cards won't be OC'd.
