I kinda want this richard to get out of my thread. He's just gonna end up giving people bad advice, and that's not really wanted here.

Anyway...

@Mulch: That is just because the driver is in beta mode. It's in testing. So, it shows you an installation report so you can see if everything installed properly and there were no issues. If there were (which there weren't, in your case) then it would give you an opportunity to see that and fix it, perhaps install an older, more stable driver.

One word, balancing.

You're focusing too much on the GPU and skimping out on the other parts
Get a 7950 get the better processor and HDD and get higher quality parts, a 7950 is fully capable of running games like the 7970 at max. You could even hit 7970 speeds with OCing.

Ethan you're back p! :D

Ethan, is my $1.5k build ok for games?
160 GB HDD, Recent Nvidia GPU, and intel bi-core processor.

I have no idea why it is so expensive TBH. The only decent thing is the GPU.
And by the way, that's a HD7970. From AMD, not nVidia.
