HIS IceQ 7950 or Black Friday 7970

Okay, so I was pretty set on getting the HIS Ice-Q 7950 for my upcoming build, but I've seen some negativity toward it lately. Really high temps, awful support, etc. Will I hate myself for buying it?

Secondly, what kind of deals do you all expect to see come Black Friday or Cyber Monday or whatever. I'm quite new to this Black Friday shopping thing, so I have no idea what PC component prices will look like.
