After much contemplating (and with you help of this forum. ) I've decided to go with a Radeon graphics card. I originally intended on getting the Sapphire 7950. While looking around on Newegg, I found a deal for a 7970 that was the just slighly more than the 7950, granted it's an open box, but my experience with open boxed hardware from NewEgg has been really good.
Sooo.. The only thing keeping me from buying the 7970 right now is that it is a PowerColor.
Here are the two cards:

I know that Sapphire is by far the most reliable company for Radeon graphics cards, but would I be insane to buy a 7950 when I could have a 7970 for only $30 more...?
Thanks in advance.
