Hello guys and gals,

I am building a pretty standard PC for my friend's first unit. He won't do anything crazy, but I want to set him up well. At the same time I am wanting to add some beef to my GPU.

Current rig:
Intel i5 3570 3.4GHz
Gigabyte Z77-DS3H
Radeon 7850 1GB
700w PSU
128 SSD & 2TB HDD

I can play most games well, but have the chance to upgrade now. My question is: Do I buy a new card and use the 7850 in my friends build or buy a second 7850 and crossfire? I'm not sure if the "2 cards are better than one" rule applies. Budget isn't crazy high but solid, $300ish range.

Thanks in advance for the help!
