So, the 560ti I have isn't really cutting it. Seems like the 7950 is the best bang for the buck right now. I'm not to familiar with the AMD side of things anymore. What is the EVGA company for AMD? Which ones to go for and which ones to stay away from is what I'm looking for. Thanks and have a good one!

Every 7950 would do it, so you could go for the cheapest and still be safe ;)
I have a preference for the ref design+ custom cooler combo, which costs less than many OEM customized cards (ASUS, MSI, etc.) for basically the same results or sometimes even better with proper OC :thup:
 
Solid brands I've used or had others use:

Asus
MSI
Sapphire (they at least used to make the "Built by ATi" cards back in the day)
Gigabyte
HIS
XFX (this is probably your EVGA analog but they tend to have a premium)

I have no idea what the warranty situations are with any of the manufacturers. The mobo companies tend to have pretty solid dead-card handling, in general, though.
