===GIG===
CPU AMD 8350
MB Asus Sabertooth 990Fx
GPU Sapphire AMD/ATI VAPOR-X HD 7950 OC with Boost 3 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
RAM G.Skill RipjawsZ DDR3 16 GB
SMPS 850 watt

I want to install multi GPU now with crossfire.

But the GPU
Sapphire AMD/ATI VAPOR-X HD 7950 OC with Boost 3 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
is no longer available in the stores (around me).

I found
Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 With Boost 3 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card

They show the same specs
850MHz core
5000MHz memory(i doubt, probably some marketing obscure stat)

I wanted a feedback from you guys on this. Should I go ahead and buy it ?
Or are there more tech specs to be considered.

Link to the cards :-
Vapor-x

They should work fine together. Just make sure you have a Crossfire Bridge.

Do you think my PSU will be able to take the load ?
