So I'm think about building my computer anytime soon, but I'm looking for a well enough graphics card. I came across an hd 6970 for 160$ on newegg and an hd 7770 for 150$. I was just wondering should I go for the old graphics card or should I hit for the new one?

7770 is much more efficient on power.

6970 is a better deal according to the theoretical numbers that have been posted(if realized).
