So I built this back in september for about $600:

I've since added an SSD which has been fantastic. But my bottleneck right now is most definitely my graphics card. As it stands I can run most games on high-ultra settings but some stuff hurts, like large quantities of particle effects, that sort of thing.
I was just wondering if I would get a bigger performance increase from crossfireing another one of those 2gb 7770 ghz edition cards or from upgrading to another single 1280 core card. Bearing in mind that cards 1280 core cards are about $250 and another 7770 would be about $130.
Longevity is certainly a concern but as we all know, most games are made for consoles and consoles hobble the potential graphical power of most games and the new generation of consoles seem to have the power of 5 year old PC's.
So yeah, 2x7770 for $130 or 1xR9 card for around $250?
