Looking to upgrade my dual 5750 set up. Budget is $200 or less.

Is it worth trying to move up from a crossfire 5750 setup? I think the bigger bottle neck in my system is having only 3 gigs of RAM which i'm taking care of now as well, but should I also look into upgrading the GPU? My doubts come from only having a budget of about $150-200 right now for a new GPU.

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Sometime in the next week or two

USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming and Gaming. I plan on playing Wildstar and ESO when they finally come out. Currently i'm playing assorted single player games.

CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: Current GPU is the above mentioned crossfire 5750 setup. I can not for the life of me remember what power supply I have though.

OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: It's an alienware aurora ALX system, running an i7 920 @ 2.67GHz. Windows 7 64-bit

This 7950 would be the best card in that price range, it's out of stock at the moment though

It'd be a pretty big step up considering that Crossfire 5750s perform like a 5850

Also according to this if your PSU could handle crossfire 5750s then a single 7950 shouldn't be a problem
