I have decided to get second 7850 2gb for crossfire so dont tell me how it's a bad move to go with crossfire. So tell me in case of playing quite demanding games now and in the future like Watchdogs and which single gfx will get close to in performance. And does graphics card improve speed of my computer as whole? Thnks in advance.

my rig:
i5 2500k
asrock exteme4
4gb 1600 ram

As others stated before your looking at around 7970 performance as for future reference games may start to use more then 2 gb vram and you will be stuck with 2 gigs of vrm but if your only playing games at 1080p you will be fine :)

Well 7850 crossfire is probably similar to a single 280x so even if you don't want to hear it you may be better of selling your 7850 and buying a 280x but that would of course depend on how much you could get for the 7850.
Video cards only increase the performance of the video output not your computer overall.
