But why do you want to buy an old generation GPU when you have similar options from current gen?
Also do you want to play games, if yes, which ones? or is there any other requirement for the GPU?
Well motherboard is kinda old (pcie v1), and for games i dont know CS:GO, garry's mod, maybe Far Cry 3/4

If you have suggestions please tell, maybe your suggestion will be way better than my thoughts!
With 2gb ram and that dual core processor you won't be able to play far cry 3/4, i don't know about the others...
In my opinion, it is not worth investing in a GPU for a system that old.. Also a 7950/6970 will require a good PSU... You have mentioned that you have a 500W PSU... what brand is it?
I would suggest you to may be increase the RAM to atleast 4gb and then buy a more entry level GPU (like a gtx750) for casual gaming...
But if you interested in playing titles like far cry 3/4, you will need to upgrade your system completely...
BTW what's the price of the 7950/6970, which you are going to purchase?
