XFX DD black would be my choice, if you can get the fans. Will only benefit temps
Am i getting the best for my 2400 AUD?

You doing a build log? 
im not sure 
A really good turn of events happened they dropped the Asrock OC formula down to 249$ which is the same price as the Gigabyte up4 th it was originally 289$ and was on special for a nice 249$
so i now have:
i7 3770k
z77 Asrock formula
i30 freezer
2 X XFX single fan 7950 black edition
storm stryker
21.5" monitor
Samsung 830 series SSD 120gb
Toshiba 2TB HDD
16gb ram 2x8 @ 1600 Mhz
6 never settle games
might be getting extra case fans
TP-LinK WN951N network card
now i have realtek ALC898 i think rather than 892
i got alot of better things for the same 2400 price so thats great

wow great build! Gonna be real fast
i was gonna do before and after screenshots to compare both systems but looks like i cant hahaNeverBackDown

Not a good idea to push laptops real far.. much less airflow and not all of it gets out that quick so you could possibly damage more then just a cpu/gpu if you stay at high temps for a while
edit: So you thinking about a build log? would be very interesting to see how it will all turn out

Get a Swiftech H220, Kraken 60 or Corsair for that nuclear powered 3770k.
6 months from now that 7950 is going to be sitting much lower in the GPU hierarchy!

Thats why you buy another one or OC
H220 outperforms all those coolers mentioned for like 15$ more and can be tunred into a custom loop which right there makes it more worthwhile

Your striker can but will do better with good fans. Glad to hear about the h220!!
Hey guys I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that helped me along the way I don't know if I got lucky or not by my crossfired 7950s both reached 1200 core and 1575 Memory and I still have quite a bit of headroom on both cards.
Im going to need to get 2 fans just so I can get the load temps down in the summer months as here my room sits at 40 celcius and my cards at 41-42.
When I took the case out of the box I didn't expect the sheer size it had ;p
I haven't Oced my CPU yet but I will look into it today

Glad to hear it went well! I would not bother OC'ing memory on gpus.. not much benefit. Focus on all core clock then go ahead and get your memory higher
once i get a job i can then purchase a h220 but currently using a hyper 212 as i received a call from PLE saying the i30 freezer would not fit on the mobo.
my load temps are anywhere between 65-85 but my top gpu is doing more of the work than the bottom. is there any way to fix that?
I managed to artifact today with a high 101 degrees as my room shot up to 48 room temp. surprisingly it was because i turned SSAO on in wargame European escalation. while the game was running at 175+ FPS the temps still got the better of the fans D: i have also heard of turning off the ULPS but i don't know what it deos.
i didnt have time to OC the cpu as i had to sort out a bunch of travel-related stuff to get to my tafe in thornlie

Youre age and income-situation in mind I would be very careful pushing your system to hard before u have a better cooling solution mounted.
A severely high ambient temp will effect your running temps a lot. If u got temps
in the 40s C in your room U should get on to as large of a wc-system as u can - as fast as u can. Til then - keep your system as cool as u can and enjoy the thing.
