Hey Guys, well earlier in the posts after everyones advice I decided not to upgrade my CPU even though I think mine is dying, I will wait for piledriver and if it is as good as I hope it will be then I will get another HD 7970.
I am researching water cooling but I am going to plan it extensively before I start. I think I might do it post Piledriver.
And to satisfy the upgrade urge for the moment, I would like to thank everyone who posted graphics scores, after the GHZ flash edition my temps went up alot on my GPU so I ordered this:

It is fiddly to put together and will take even the best modder 6 hours as the ram and VRM heatsinks get glued on using this stuff called G1 and it takes 5 hours to cure!! but my max load temp is 48 degrees on Furmark. idle is 27 degrees.
