If he has the money for 2 7770's, he should get a better single gpu. I would never recommend two 7770's. I only recommended this one as an inbetween card until he gets a better one.
But he doesnt have the money upfront, so there you go.
I would never recommend 2 cards in the first place, mearly one decent one,
but people like to buy fancy boards and big cases and whopping great psu's etc etc. . Unless you run 3 monitors or encode video its an expensive passtime.
I went off of the deep end. I went to pricewatch.com to shop. Each video card was just a little nicer and a little more expensive, I started with the 7770, then for $15 more there was the 7790, then for $20 more there was a 7850, Etc. So what's $20 more? and $20 more? Well it added up to more like $200 more. I ended up with a 7950 for about $270. It comes bundled with 4 popular games, (Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, & FarCry3:Blood Dragon, and Tomb Raider I don't know that I would have bought all of these games, but some web sites say the retail value of the games is about $170, so the card cost would be about $100. It seemed like a good deal. I then went to newegg and bought the high end stuff that they had promotions on.
I went with an amd FX-8350, Asus Sabertooth 99dfx, OCZ 1000 watt PS, 2 refurbished Seagate SV35 Series 1TB, (going to run Raid1. If one dies for $54 who cares, just get another, no data loss), COOLER MASTER "Heatpipe Direct Contact", LITE-ON DVD Burner, GeIL EVO 16GB DDR3 1866, and a Rosewill BLACKHAWK Gaming ATX Mid Tower to stuff it all into. total cost there $861. So for $1131 I should have a system that will last me for another 5 to 10 years.
I would like to thank everyone who helped me make up my mind, even if I did not follow your exact suggestions, what you said did have an impact.
