Corsair CX600M PSU gets tested
So you need a PSU that is not too expensive but comes from a reputable brand ? Well perhaps the Corsair CX600M PSU we review in this article is something you might find interesting. This 600 Watt Power Supply is grand in performance but even better in price. A product that is affordable, yet comes with the quality you can expect from a name like Corsair. Being the more 'regular' non CX model these power supplies are a bit more affordable, yet remain high quality and high performance and 80 Plus Bronze certified. 80 Plus Bronze, semi-modular, and the fan doesn’t really spin up beyond its minimum speed until around 50% load. How does that sound ?

It's still not that low as you can buy two 7970 for 650$ or less.

I think that TPU is a competitor and you should look for another source.
About your question, well, each 7970 has 3 games as well, meaning 6 games.3 for re-sale of course.Anyway, these days you can search for those on any webiste that sells keys, they are not worth 100$ as they have mentioned on that article.

In the US you might. The article is also quoting the way different EU prices of the card. And here is way different. No Newegg, Target, BestBuy etc unfortunately in the EU.
Also prices are kinda subjective as to where you buy, location, good deals/offers etc. I'm also talking about BNIB.
In general a new custom 7970(Sap, GB, Asus etc.) go for €320-350 from reputable and trusted shops. I would put the emphasis on the bolded words.
So for €600 which is as much as I got my now 6 months old GTX 690(was 4mths used), I reckon that EU price is darn good!
But while a huge cut from its price was indeed made, as I did a quick check on the prices, although I did find an AMD 7990 going for €600 from only 1 shop while the next cheapest were €640,
I still have might some doubts about that €600 price tag.
I reckon a €200/ cut seems more like it. And that too is nothing to sneeze at btw. But wait! Discounting an already overpriced product, does that make it a good deal then? Hmm.

So here's a question for my beloved Guru3D members(please keep it clean), what would you buy?
A GTX 780 or an AMD 7990? Price wise they are the same.

The website selling the card at 599€ does this kind of "Best Offer" deals from time to time; is a business strategy they often enforce. It's not like every HD7990 will cost 599€ from now on.
So, I would be careful and wait a couple of weeks before stating the HD7990 reference price permanently drop to 599€ with the same high degree of confidence Guru3D is .
Btw, if I saw this HD7990 for 599€ deal when I was looking for a €600 GTX780, I would NOT give second thoughts, as the article suggests. There were the HD7970s for 309€ already available at the time, in the same website. So, I would still have bought the GTX780 over the HD7990. I had enough of multi-GPU systems already.

Same GTX780 over 7990, more consist way better frame times and no xfire hassle.

Hard to say, if you want pure performance it's a no-brainer get the 7990. But that comes with CF hassles, heat etc....

As a single card I would get the 7990 because it is a dual GPU card which is like having 2 cards but using one slot. But if I were going dual cards then I would get the 780 due to the reasons all ready mentioned.
