I would personally go far the 7970, but you could get better performance out of the dual 7870s

I would go for the second one. But only because I prefer a single GPU :S I'm bias :D

Second one by far

reasoning?

exactly :D

 i'd be an idiot to not take advantage of the triple channel - the kits are cheaper and even though there's very small performance gains there still is some :P

I know, but there is more raw GPU power. You may be limited by the amount of VRAM if playing on more than one screen.
