The A-series of APU's are for entry level graphics on a budget. Crossfire has many issues on many games and you will end up NOT using crossfire and just the external GPU for certain games. Crysis is one of these games that can have issues.

That said, it would be better to buy a Phenom II or Buldozer processor and a 990 series board, that would save you money and you could get a better 6770 card that can do 1080p gaming.

This site: http://www.hardwareheaven.com/reviews/1365/pg1/amd-fusion-a8-3870k-overclocking-and-dual-graphics-performance-review-introduction.html used this card http://www.hardwareheaven.com/reviews/1180/pg1/sapphire-ultimate-radeon-hd-6670-graphics-cards-review-introduction.html.

However, I think you are confusing the types of Crossfire. The cards you are looking at do not support card to card Crossfire because they lack the Crossfire connector. However, you are trying to do APU to card Crossfire which does not require a card with a Crossfire connector or the little cable that connects to cards. Make sense? This means any 6670 card should do.

Having said that, I would still opt for a Core i3 2100, an inexpensive H61 or H67 motherboard, and a 6850 card.
