PS3/360 owner new to home computers and bitcoin mining. Good card?

So I went to Microcenter after reading a news item on yahoo. Apparently people are making lots of money with bitcoin, so I said this to the Microcenter sales person and he said a 7950 (I asked him to write it down) or R9 would work best for the money I could spend.

They didn't have anything matching that number and R9 cards were very expensive, so he said craigslist or ebay might have these cards.

On craigslist I found a 7950 for $400 and that was about $100 cheaper than the other cards he mentioned, so I bought it. It's a 7950 GT model and the guy I bought it from said it's like cars and GT means a sports model, and is better than normal. Considering bitcoins are $600 and this is $400, it was a bargain!

How many bitcoins can I make in a day with this card?
