looking like this 7970 is on its way out don't have much to spend so if you have something you would be willing to let go cheap let me know would like to keep it well under 200 if possible

What died about it, artifacting, no output, or is it just completely unresponsive?

Well I would love to help but unfortunately I don't have anything in stock that is a reasonable performance wise to a 7970. My advice is something like these:

If you don't care about noise to much (Or are willing to buy later on aftermarket cooling)

Or try this one with a PCS+ Cooler
