Guys I'm building a new rig and the only part left is the graphic card .. Within my budget I can choose between these cards:

1- Sapphire HD 7950 Vapor-x OC with boost

2- Nvidia GTX 660 TI MSI Twin Frozer

3- ASUS HD 7850 Direct CU2

4- Sapphire HD 7870 Ghz Edition OC
Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

I will be overclocking whatever card I get, what I want is a future proofing card and by "future" I mean at least the next 2-3 years.

the 7950 is the best choice, it overclocks better than any other card and performs extremely well.

the stock performance is better than the 660 ti and overclock performance is close to an overclocked 680.

You can overclock with stock voltages. I don't think there are many cards out this generation that has voltage control. The 7950 can hit 1200+mhz at stock voltages if you are lucky, most people get it to run at ~1100mhz no problem from what I seen.

cool, I still wouldn't want that card since the double D 7950 isn't great. The fan and heatsink design on it isn't very good and doesn't fit on the 7950 like it did on the 7970.

On the other hand the XFX R7950 Black Edition Double Dissipation ends up being a bummer, particularly compared to its 7970 based sibling. For what an open air cooler can do it’s simply too hot and too loud; the numbers we’re seeing would be acceptable for a blower, but not for an open air cooler. The gaming performance is great thanks to its best in class factory overclock, but this isn’t enough to overlook the obvious cooling troubles.

the only 7950 card available here is the sapphire vapor x one so i'm stuck with it

the vapor x is the best 7950 so its not a bad thing to be stuck with.
