XFX vs Sapphire

[wake4x4ptball]

im planning to get 7850 or maybe 7870 but which brand i should go for .....

XFX double X or core edition with OC

The coolers are going to preform fairly similarly from what I'd read on a few sites and on newegg.ca at least the sapphire is $30 less than the XFX. Having used sapphire in the past I definitely recommend going with that card.
