Hello there
I'm after some advice towards my build, i was thinking of getting a hd 6870 because it fits in my budget of under £150 with the plan of getting another to crossfire at a later date. I've seen them as low as £125 on some sites daily deals.

Here are my questions
1. Should i wait and see if price drops when the 7000 seris comes out?
2. Should i wait and see if the 7870 (any idea when this card comes out?) is in the same price range when it replaces the 6870?
3. Will my power be enough to support two cards?
4. I've noticed the card become harder and harder to get a hold of, would it be a bad option to crossfire?



Current build: Antec 300 case, i5 2500k 4.2Ghz, 212 hyper cooler, 4 case fans, asus p8p67 pro mobo, 8Gb 1600hmz ram, 60gb Ssd, 500Gb Hd.


Any help would be a massive help.
Ps i'm terrible at saving so theres very very little chance i ever manage to save more than £150 at a time because thats the spare money i have from my wage.
