Might be worth holding off on buying a GTX470 SLI replacement unless your in a hurry - if the rumours are anything to believe nVidia have enough salvaged parts from K20 production to produce 2 new high end models within the 225watt envelope "soon" as in sooner rather than later. W/ 384bit memory buses to boot which will automatically give them a boost over the 680 (word on the grapevine is there will be 2 new models one ~15% faster than the GTX680 with high availability/normal price and one ~30% faster with low availability and probably a premium price).
This isn't something I've kept abreast on developments on so it could all be a load of rubbish (this isn't the proper "GTX780" either).
EDIT: Only posting this now (its further to the K20 rumours that have been floating about) because I woke up to a snippet of news so I suspect we'll see people like Charlie posting about is soon if theres anything concrete to it.

The 7970 will be a nice upgrade, thinking of going either 120Hz at 1900x1080, or a larger res screen myself. Either way ill have to add another wf 670, but finding one that clocks as good as my current one will be difficult. Might have to go proven secondhand model.
