I would say the 680 because in most cases it performs way better, but these are the most equal from the Nvidia and AMD side. Both are priced at $500 US which is £315.14

Actually they tend to start at around the £350 - £360 mark, a straight Dollar to Sterling conversion doesn't work. Try looking at some UK websites in future.
I think I will ask the question again just before I am going to order the card, just incase of any newer cards that come out at the price bracket I am looking at.
But another question I have is should I upgrade the PSU. I have a 500W Corsair in at the moment and I know most of the cards say that you should have at least 500W but as I said. Should I get a bigger PSU aswell?

clearly the 7970 beating the gtx 680 and when overclocked is a no brainer being the best bang for bucks here, unless u need cuda.
I am trying to stick to Nvidia as I know a few people that have had a lot of problems with AMD cards. But If i can get one that tempts me enough I will go AMD.
Also I am not really looking to overclock at the present time unless I get a superclocked one from the manufacturer.
anyways stock the 670 runs great, but for speed the 7970 runs faster at stock.
the current small issues with amd cards will be resolved soon in a driver update,
if u cant go with amd, the 670 i suggested will do u good
sweet thanks for the input. As I said in an earlier post I will most likely do another question when I both know exactly how much money I can go up to max (prob about £370) and if there are any latest better cards about. But at the moment this is helping a lot as I don't know too much about GFX cards.
