It certainly is an Overkill at that Resolution. If you plan on connecting the pc with a TV or plan on buying a new monitor later you can Choose the config.
But without a good display HD7970 is over kill.HD 7970 Performs Higher than a HD 7870 .
Buddy, don't just jump and sell off the Monitor if you have budget restriction for now. 1600X900 is also good and you can actually enjoy all the games with highest settings, AA and AF enabled. Take your time for upgrading the monitor.
AA : Refers to Anti-aliasing, in layman's terms, a technique of making rough edges smooth in games so, you get to experience better image quality at the cost of performance.
AF : Refers to Anisotropic Filtering. It is a mechanism that enhances image/texture quality that are viewed at an angle resulting in sharper textures and enhanced image quality.
Both, these technologies are higly resource consuming and hence the reason for opting high end graphics cards.
Depends on what task you are performing.

Man , i cant let this processor go .. its pretty good when compared to 3470 wid some extra features .. like higher clock rate and the no. of cores .. by seeing the next gen consoles .. this really makes it worth buying!!
