trying to decide on one of these 2 cards but not sure which one would be better. im new to this so im not too sure. would the 7950 make a huge difference or no? im looking to just play single play games like crysis 3, 2 and BF 3 and future games at maybe high settings. the sapphire 100354OC-2L has a clock speed of 1050mhz and the 7950 GV-R795WF3-3GD is listed at 900mhz and which of these 2 cards would be good for overclocking? any help would be appreciated. the sapphire is at $184.99 with a $15 rebate and the gigabyte is at $224.99 with a $25 rebate.
Thanks!

Avoid anything based on the HD7800s from Sapphire. Go with the Gigabyte card. Those cards are known to be silent and well-performing.
