Good morning.

OVERCLOCKING: Yes SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Yes

Now, I know that this is pure speculation at this point, but based on your prior experience with 6xxx series, would you say the below is possible?
I'm building a new computer in the first week of March. My original plan was to go with ASUS Maximus IV Extreme mobo + GTX 590, and add another 590 in 7-8 months or so. However, with the new AMD cards coming out, I'm revising this idea.
My current plan is to purchase an 7970, and run it alone. Then, in a few months, purchase a 7990, and CrossfireX both. In about a year I would buy another 7990 and sell 7970.
What are the flaws in this plan? =) I'm sure I'm missing something. I know that with a single 7970 driving three screens I won't pull Ultra quality, but I'm OK with settling for less for a few months. Are there any other possible issues?
