Niiiiiiiiiiice 
Gibbo, I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but a few competitors have the Gigabyte Windforce 780 for under £400.
I missed the 7990 offer (partly due to thinking about coil whine and whether I wanted both PCs to be AMD based) and the Gigabyte is the card I'm now considering as it has a decent air cooler but is also reference PCB. A combination I don't think any of your sub-£400 780s have, plus the Gigabyte warranty.
Just have to convince myself that a single 780 is better than 670SLI... (feel free to help out if you want a sale)
One card + 3 A list games
Do it!! (And for goodness sake... just sell the 670's, they are still great cards and people will want them )(mind you there was that S2000 we advised you to buy that you never truly liked... so make your own mind up).

IT purchases always the same - and those of us who jumped the gun today will probably be a little disappointed when the 290s come in at much less
Still, now have a good card that is fit for purpose
And a spare windforce 670

Send OCUK a message, they refunded me £40 when the price of the 670 went down a day later you never know

I am very tempted! It also helps that I'm interested in some of the bundle games for a change! (Not sure I've ever wanted many of the games AMD offer)
Also, I did like the S2000, it just cost a fair bit to run. You just assume I didn't like it because I didn't drive everywhere at 9000rpm!

The Gigabyte WindForce 3x OC is an amazing deal.
****.....I just bought an AMD R9 280x.........
Possible to ship it back and get a MSI Geforce GTX 770 Gaming Edition 4096MB and pay the extra? The game package that comes with it.......worth the change as the 280x doesn't have one though it is rumoured to in the future.

Just ordered one to replace my faulty Gigabyte GTX 680 Windforce.
