How wise or unwise would it be to sidestep from a Radeon HD 5970 to a Radeon HD 7870? A deal on newegg caught my eye:

140 after Rebate seems acceptable to me. Is it a worthy enough upgrade in performance in games that only utilize one GPU to go for, or am I better off waiting it out a bit?
And in terms of other components, I'm running an antiquated Phenom II 1100t at 4 ghz with 16 gbs of DDR3 RAM.
