Rero77 ,
Your choice looks good. For $20.00 USD more after rebate, if you can afford it, you could get this XFX 7870 video card http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=698...X&promoid=1209
Double the memory and likely a bit better performance.

I'm a fan of the MSI Twin Frozr series. My 7950 Twin Frozr keeps tempe around 60C at 46% fan at 1050MHz core.
7850:

7870 MSI Hawk 1100 MHz

I'd get a 7850 with 2GB or a 7870 if money allows
Some rumors have pointed toward late Q1 '13 or early Q2 '13, but I don't see it being that soon unless Nvidia comes out with something compelling. These HCC WUs aren't going to last forever!
I'm currently drooling over this one:

I'd skip Sapphire if you plan on overclocking. I've heard they are not very user friendly compared to other brand such as Gigabyte and MSI which are much easier to OC. Plus, the Hawk come at 1100 MHz guaranteed out of the box, the Sapphire does not.

This one is cheaper, running @1100 on the core and will be cool as ice...

My Room is also the same temp as poorly ventilated server room. It's at least 80F in there, if not 85F. I like it warm.

My understanding of the difference between the two is that the later one has more connections for screens and a smaller vent as a result

Card revisions are usually different connectors. Newer rev's stopped using mini DP connectors (thank god).
Also a note about the Asus. The directiicu coolers are amazing. However they cheap out on the midrange cards. For example my 7950 and GTX670 are both top notch. Shroud is made of metal and they cool exceptionally well and are quiet. On the other hand my Asus 7850 has plastic parts and is flimsy and the sapphire version cools better (while being smaller). So the Asus coolers are not always the best.

I like sound of this Sapphire Flex stuff
So I read the review on techpower up on the Sapphire and then the Asus one. I went back to Fry's and picked up the last Asus one. It seems the bad part with Sapphires is their choice of RAM manufacturer and it not being OC friendly. The Asus blows it away on real world performance too.
It's an open box and I had them open it back up and I checked it out before purchasing it. So $261 out the door. Time to do the rebate. I'm DLing the AMD CCC for it then I'm going to uninstall my current CCC, shut 'er down and install the new card. Phew this guy is a beauty. Maybe I'll post some pics
and I thought I was going to catch you by Monday, guess I'll have to consider a purchase
Just remembered I have Totalgeekdom right on my tail ... I might have to go 7950
