Ok, Basically I have around £200 for a GPU, I had chosen the 7870 as it was £180 and I was happy with that, However it was then bumped up to £200

Now I have to decide,

Get a *B Grade* option for £160 or spend £160-£200 on another *B Grade* gpu such as:

GTX 580
560ti
7950

What should I do?

System I have chose:

AMD Piledriver FX-6 Six Core 6300 3.50GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail
Gigabyte 970A-DS3 AMD 970A (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard
Cooler Master GX Lite 600W '80 Plus' Power Supply
Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus Midi Tower Case - Black
Corsair Vengeance Blue Low Profile 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CML8GX3M2A1600C9B)

Note: I intend to game

I wouldn't touch a B-Grade Twin Frozr III with a barge pole.

Go for a brand new IceQ 7950 and sell the games, which should bring it down to around £200 unless you want the games, which still balances it out.

Agreed.

The MSI 7950s on B Grade have almost certainly been returned due to a combination of heat/noise.

Avoid like the plague. To be honest I'm surprised they're still selling them. The rate of getting a bad card seems extraordinary.
