Hi there :) 
i've already had 1 sapphire HD7770 Ghz edition gpu installed in my current rig , and i'm wondering , is it worth it to buy one more identical HD7770 for crossfire ? price does matter for me . i will be probably using it for another 2 years if i'm going to crossfire it . Or should i tighten my belt and go for a better single card ? if yes, whats your suggestions ?
Thanks in advance , cheers :D

I would say stick with a single GPU if possible. Both SLI and Crossfire are problematic in terms of over driver dependences and consumes tons of power, heat and the other obvious problem is that, if one of the graphics card failed you may not able get that same GPU after a year or two resulting braking the duel GPU configuration you had and you have to discard the other GPU you had been using and you are forced to buy a new graphics card. Its not worth the money I would say.

Best solution

IMO, single card solutions are the best way to go. However, since you already have a 7770, it will be more cost effective to crossfire, but the performance will still not be up to the level of a 760. Also, driver issues still arise with radeon, even though they are making some progress in sorting it out.

If it was me, I'd sell the 7770 and put that $ toward a 760 or an HD 7950.
