Upgrading from an 8800GT!

I think I'm pretty set on the 3770K - the Hyperthreading is sure to be useful as Lightroom and Photoshop will make use of them whenever possible.

It seems the bottom line is still a 7850, or try to fit in a 7950 somehow.

The question remains though, is the 7950 really worth the $150 premium over the 7850?
I imagine the 7950 should be able to handle 19x12 at higher quality settings and maintaining closer to 60fps than the 7850 though, especially when both are OC'd.
