Which card? Advice needed

[Gnerf]

Hi guys, now I'm ready to buy my graphics card for my new system I'm looking for some advice on what to buy.

My specs are

3570k
Z77x dh3
8gig ram
650w

I have been looking between the 7850-7950 and not sure where to go, a side note, I have read that my mobo can have problems with some graphics cards reading some of the topics on here. Anybody know any solid info on this?

I'm willing to pay the 250 quid for a 7950 however I don't know whether it's needed. I play guild wars mainly and I know a 7850 will be fine, but I'm willing to pay the extra, but is the 7950 worth the extra money in terms of both the cards over clocking potentials.

I know the 7850 can be clocked to stock 7950 level but I think I would only clock it to the msi recommended levels which I understand still keep the card under its warranty??

Is the 7950 as overclockable as the 7850 is it honestly worth the extra 80-90 quid?

Hopefully I have left enough info as I won't be able to post for a couple of days without Internet. I look forward to some helpful advice, if possible.

Thanks.

I've been reading and thinking about which card to get for weeks now. I'm not an expert on the matter but the conclusions I came to might help.

The HIS HD 7950 IceQ BOOST has as many games bundled as the other HIS 7950, but a far far better cooler. It's almost as quiet as a best, cooler than most and with the lovely added bonus of venting it all out of the case. So cool, quiet, with minimal impact on your overall temps. As has been said, selling the games, or even just some of the games, makes the card incredibly cheap. OcUk handle the two full two year warranty as well.

The ETA on the BOOST was the 31st, so I'm hoping it's in and on it's way to me on monday.
