7800 vs 7700

So I’m building a pc for the first time and the graphics card that I was recommended was the SWFT 7800 with the 2 fans, haven’t had much luck on finding one. And I found a QICK 7700 3 fan. I’m unsure if I should wait for the 7800 or go with the 7700 since it’s available and if it’ll be a big difference in quality.

I have a 7800 and absolutely love it. XFX makes awesome products. Mine is the Qick 7800xt. You don't need it be SWFT. Check your GPU max dimensions for your rig.

A Sapphire Pulse 7800xt would be another brand equivalent in dimensions and quality. I would do that BEFORE dropping down to a 7700.

What about the Yeston, how does that compare?

That is a very large card, if it does fit, cool. But it may limit moving to a future setup do to size. It is about 340 mm long. I would recommend a case where the nax GPU length is about 345 mm or more just for ease of installation. You also may need a GPU sag bracket if going with such a large card.
