Good choice arc, another one to consider is:
YOUR BASKET
1 x HIS HD 7950 IceQ BOOST 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (H795QC3G2M) £239.99
The His when both oc'd, is quieter/cooler as it vents out the case but the WF is quieter@idle, I have gave both of them a spin.
The His has unlocked memory voltage through HisTurbo tool, idk about the WF.
Which one clocks the farthest is any ones guess though with the chip lottery.

I have tried both as well, and found the gigabyte to run cooler + it has 3 years rma uk warrenty
@Ian,
the whoosh from the Ice-Q is much easier to live with than the noise the WF puts out when it hits 60c.
I would be a huge deal breaker for me as I'm anal about noise.
If load noise is an issue for the op, then the Ice-Q's cooler wins hands down.
The 3 years UK warranty with GB should be considered too, OcUK handle the warranty for His, but, idk what the procedure@OcUK would be when the Ice-Q hits eol.
Most Ice-Q/WF owners are very happy with their choice of gpu's, either one are both good cards at the end of the day.

Yeah, HIS are also a decent choice, and they make some nice coolers. My 4870X2 had great temps for such a hot and juicy card. However, the UK rma would swing it for me, though if the process is simplified through OcUK, then it's basically a coin flip.
Edit : in fact, should the rma process be a non issue here, I would go with the HIS. Confirmation would be required, though.

Tommy posted a video a while back comparing noise. I have to say, the HIS sounded the least intrusive, though the Gigabyte is very good to be fair. Above 50 - 60% it does get a bit noisey, though that doesn't bother me.
