R7870 crossfire or GTX570 SLI

I'm intending to build one and the new chipset for radeon is tempting me with lower power consumption and cooler gpu.

intel core i5-2500k
AsRock Z68 Extreme 4 Gen3
8gm ram
750 or higher psu.

7xxx series will comepete with the 6xx nvidias so yea the 7 series will run cooler

the price for a r7870 isnt much higher than a gtx570 atm.
So i was thinking if it was wise getting the r7870 instead.

Just wait, till price wars start. I would think here in a couple of weeks to a month we will see very very good prices.
