I sometimes go overboard on budget i like to have the best but i understand more money wont always mean better product that's why im here also the monitor situation is more a space problem i don't have room to setup my PC so i set my PC up on my TV screen
 
the 7970 supposedly is an extremely well overclocker. Though the recent price drop on the 77xx and the 7970 cards are fairly new, not sure if the cards in Australia have dropped in price yet, since the ones in the U.S on newegg are sitting around low 480$ to a higher 580$ (not sure how much that would cost between the 2 countries)
