The standard FTW 670 is clocked even higher than the FTW LE. The LE edition is only overclocked by like, <40MHz so you probably wouldn't notice a difference but for the same price as the standard 670 you would want to get it anyway.LE = Light Edition. Of course it's clocked lower.
This is also a good 670: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168141276 85
Overclocked, 2 free games, better cooling, $375.It's all of those things, but EVGA has a lifetime warranty and allows you to upgrade your card by sending in the old one and paying the difference. That would help a lot a generation or two ahead.

How easy is it to overclock the 670? That's the main reason I'd side towards the 7970, because you can overclock it to insane amounts. If I can do the same with the the 670, I'd go with that instead. And I am thinking about getting a second monitor, but not for awhile. I'd only be gaming on one monitor though, if that makes a difference. But if I do chose the 670, should I go with the EVGA or MSI one?The 7970 will definitely overclock higher, but at stock clocks, the 670 will perform better at 1080p. The 7970 would perform MUCH better with three monitors. The 670 also has CUDA (for 3D applications) and PhysX (Borderlands, Metro). The 7970 also lacks the lifetime warranty, as the XFX Double D cards are the only ones with lifetime warranties on AMD's side, and the upgrade plan that EVGA also has.

Well, crap. I can't solve my stuttering issues. Looked everywhere for info, but I can't find any solutions to it.
I might just have to get used to the stuttering.
Im having the same problem. I was wondering if it's cause of my wireless mouse or it's just a graphics problem. I have a EVGA GeForce GTX 660.If it's a low end (sub $30) mouse, you'll have tracking problems which will cause the stuttering.
Also, Corsair let me send in my H100 for an H100i, so I decided to do some benches before I sent it back:
H100, Corsair TIM: 30-35*C Idle
Intel, Stock TIM: 85-90*C Idle
Intel, AS5 TIM: 70-80*C Idle
Good job Intel.
Looks like I won't be using my computer for a while.
