You'll have to look at the benchmarks for the games you want to play and decide that for yourself. Both are the best at their respective price points.

Well normally, I'd say the 7950, however at 50 cheaper, and the powercooler running Tahiti giving it almost identical performance, then I'd say go with the 7870.

From the price you've given, I'm assuming you live in the UK.

Here's a link to a cheap one, as it comes with games you could even sell to get even more off.

eh, at stock speeds, yes. OC'd, the 7950 is a much better choice.
