Well I went and did it, pulled the trigger on a second watercooled 7970, now I just have to tell the wife! any suggestions of how I can achieve this without bodily harm being inflicted on me?

Tell her it was on sale and was 25-40% off so it was an opportunity you couldn't pass up. Normally works for me. :D
 
Tell her if you didn't get it, you wouldn't enjoy gaming and would instead feel a little deflated and thus turn into a binge drinker every Friday, Saturday and sunday which would result in the spenditure of £300 per week on alcohol, so infact by getting this second 7970, you have saved a fortune in the long run.
 
Just get a bit philosophical with her saying life is short we should enjoy life while we can and you can't take things with you, then " I bought another watercooled 7970" that should work.
 
That would work ok until she saw the £840 on the credit card bill! but it will buy me some time uintil i can think of a better reason!

This is how I am now going to justify, just about anything I buy.

Thank you for your wisdom. :p
