Hi guys. I'm running a GTX 680 at moment, but i want to upgrade to crossfire. I got a MSI Motherboard ( MSI b75a-g43 gaming ). What is the best cards from AMD that i can get for cheap money, and that are better than a GTX 680?

Could be great if you could help me.

Well it depends where you are in the world as crytomining has bumped AMD prices right up. You would get better performance from x2 R9 270X than your GTX 680, then 280 or 280X CF would offer significantly better performance but might cost a lot!

Why not get a GTX 780?

Why do you want to crossfire AMD gpus when you could just buy another GTX 680 for SLI?
R9 280 or R9 280X are better than most GTX 680s but I wouldn't recommend choosing crossfire over SLI.
Nvidia have better SLI driver support than AMD, even with frame pacing.
