If they're the same price, the 680, but you should be able to find the 670 and 7970 substantially cheaper than the 680. between the 670 and 7970, its a tough choice. They trade blows depending on what games you prefer, but the 7970 has far more OC headroom.

also there is a rumored potential bug in the gtx600 series boards, out rather, a degradation of silicon, something to keep in mind I guess.

YA I'm reading loads of reports of stuttering in the gtx670's and general hassle , and the factory overclocked editions of the 7970 are near the same price , there is also a rumour of a recall by nvidia on one or 2 tech sites ,

Don't know what to do ?????
