Hey guys, I'm building a gaming PC with a budget on 2150$ with:

Intel Core i7-4770K 3,5GHz
(Will upgrade to better cooling)
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Mobo
Corsair CX M750W PSU(i think)
Crucial 16GB Sport Kit 1600MHz
Crucial 240GB SSD
Seagate 1TB 7200RPM
NZXT Phantom Big Tower White
7970 GHz 3GB XF or GTX 780 3GB

,but I can't decide if I'm going for two 7970 GHz Edition 3GB Crossfired or the GTX 780...
Both decisions costs nearly the same where I live (about 750$), but which of the one decisions would be best for playing intensive GPU games such as BF4/Crysis 3 and other high end games?
I'm talking about getting 60+fps at 1080p+ on Ultra settings. I'm going to play on a 1080p 24'' Monitor.

I also heard that there is some problems with Crossfire, so therefore I want to hear about your thoughts!

i went from a single 7970 to a evga classified 780 and i'll never look back. i'd highly recommend the 780's as there fast cool and quiet and the driver support is nicer overall. if you went crossfire you would need to bump up the power supply, i'd recommend one 780 and bump the motherboard to the gd65 gaming for a nice higher end combo.

it would be a bit faster sure, but it will be much louder and hotter. what's the refresh rate of your monitor? if it's 60hz than you would get no benefit from the second 7970
