Hi-end graphics card. Which one?

[Littlebro]

Hi all,

I'm kinda getting crazy here. I want to be able to play everything at 1080p with maxed settings, but I don't know what to choose...

First I thought I would go for a 7970 Ghz. but people say it's locked so I can't really OC it when I need it to... They say I should go with 670 but that has exact the same price as an 7970 Ghz. Others say these two cards are overkill and for €100 (I live in Europe) less I could go with a decent 7950 or 660 Ti which would also perform well (especially after OC'ing). Which card should I choose now???? I'm kinda a freak about extremely modded Skyrim (with texture mods + enb + foliage mods) so extra VRAM would come in handy but I want to play FC3, BF3 and other nice modern games on ultra settings as well...
I also want it to be futureproof because I'm not that rich that I can afford a PC like this every 2-3 years. So for at least 3 years at a min. of med quality.

I'll give you the site from where I buy and my budget goes up to €400. It would be better if it were €50 less so I can spend the money on other things in my PC (better CPU + cooler + mobo). Please help me choose!

Well it's what you've suggested to others so why not take your own advice.

the 7970 is ur best bet if thats the cheapest u can get compared to the 670

but either way ull be happy with the gtx 670, but if its cheaper the 7970 will be faster no doubt.

That was before all the doubt started. I just read at that time that 7970 was better . Then I read some more and things just started to spin in my head . Sorry if it sounds a bit confusing.
