I currently have an R7 370 (4GB vram) in one tower and an R9 280x (3GB vram) in another.

Would having another R7 370 in crossfire with the current one be better than the R9 280x?

I get the PSU and processor factors and whatever, the shaders, bit processing and whatever on the GPUs, but I can't seem to eyeball if it's worth saving money by buying another 370 rather than the more expensive 280x.

Two 370s should place just ahead or around a 390x, so in general it would be better in terms of raw performance than the 280x.
However it would draw more power, and scale worse in comparison. I personally would invest in something like a 970 for hassle free gaming. That being said, 370 Xfire would be the cheapest.

Really? So crossfiring two R7 370s @ 110W (so 220W total?) would be more wattage than the R9 280x @ 250W? (guess I know less than I thought lol)
