I currently own the 7950 and I wont lie, Im incredibly pleased with it..... BUT. The draw back with it right now is that there are NO blocks (that are nickel and plexi at least) that are sold now.

So im wondering, should I sell it and splash a bit of cash for the 7970 OR wait till the 7xx come out. I actually switched from NVIDIA to AMD because of how their prices just dont really add up to me.

Id be willing to spend about £350 including the money I get from selling the 7950.
What should I do?
 
I have EK blocks on mine and although these are not on oc website anymore I believe that they are still available from EK direct. If you do fancy a change I would definitely wait until the new 7 series come out as its not far away now. I don't think you would notice that much of an upgrade to a 7970.
 
Oh wow, they are in stock! I swear to you that they were all out of stock from them. Not sure if I can splash the money on the blocks at this moment so I hope theyll stay in stock for a little longer.
Yeah, the 700 series isnt far off so ill see what they have to offer.
 
No problem. I was toying with adding a third to my loop but think I am going to see how the 7 series do.
