I'm regretting buying my 7870 for £265 now, for an extra £40 I could've had a 7950.
EDIT - There is actually no feasible reason to buy a GTX680 if your in the UK now, the cheapest one can be had for £409, a good £60 (~$95) above the cheapest 7970.
And don't forget that non-reference 680's are priced > $539 (and not available to buy).
I'm playing on a 22" 1680x1050 monitor with a GTX 560 ti OC (1 Gb) card and an upgrade to a 7950 1.5Gb would be, performance wise, enough for me imho...
