Its a choice between:
Asus HD7970 DC2 3GB mem
or
Nvidia GTX 680 2GB mem
The 7970 is 35usd cheaper.

680 performs slightly better. Here in the US it's ALSO cheaper, so that makes the choice easy, but in your case it's a much harder decision.

$35 is nothing compared to the overall price of the card and system. Get the highest performing card of the two (680) and be done with it. Can't really go wrong with either.

and power consumption is lower on the 680
This. Get the best you can afford. Thats the 680.
Well, it takes some decent clocks for the 7970 to catch up in the first place (so that wipes out its higher overclocking ability), and dont forget, even with the new style of overclocking this card, it still does overclock.
Id be interested to see what clocks it takes exactly on a 7970 to match a 680 and THEN see how much headroom is available in both cards.

Well, I think I will go for a 680, but thing is I won't build my next system before this summer (too much work, not enough time...).
I believe that there will be no more room for doubt at this time... Unless Sea Island is there!

I have already ordered the other parts. Got a Corsair ax750 PSU.. Would 570 sli/crossfire be posible? and I've heard that there are a lot more problem posing, when you go sli/crossfire

Wait for non reference 680s and I bet youll be happy.
Bart 750 would be pushing it sli 570s. Well depending on your cpu and what not. overclocks.
Most recommend a minimum of 850 when doing 2x sli. Anything higher the 2x sli you want 1200+.
750 would probably work but might limit you when overclocking if I am not mistaken?
