Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Alrighty, I guess I will just pick up the 7950 now while it is on sale and just wait until I can get a new PSU to use it. Thats the main reason I was looking at the video card upgrade is because that 7950 was 300 bucks a week ago and thats a pretty huge price drop. I know the new Radeon 9xxx...
Supposing I purchased the 7950 now, and when my budget goes up again(mid October) buy a new PSU. Would my old PSU be sufficient for my needs until I can get a new one?
My apologies. The PSU is an Apevia. It was purchased 2/1/2011. It was from my last gaming rig before I built my current one last year, in which I reused the PSU. Here is the exact one:
