6950 or 7850

And the 7950 isn't much more money than the 7870 and the 7970 isn't much more money than the 7950. You get where I'm going here? Lol.
If they are similar in price, definitely get the 7850.
Sometimes the 6950 is available for quite a bit cheaper (OCUK has one at £162) - this is a harder choice. The 7850 isn't much better than the 6950 (it's questionable whether you'd notice it in real terms a lot of the time).
So: If your budget is set comfortably at 200, the 7850 definitely; if you want to save money, the 6950.

Make sure you over clock the 7850 to get the most for your money

6970 vs 7870 (6950/7850 post overclock should perform similar?)
depends to what games you're playing as to whether its worth a 30 quid premium on the 7850
