R7870 crossfire or GTX570 SLI

Im building a new cpu.
Radeon new chipset with cooler gpu and lower power consumption is making me think twice.
current specs im looking at:

Intel Core i5-2550k
AsRock Z68 Extreme 4 Gen3
8GB ram
750W or higher psu.

7870 Xfire is probably one of the most powerful setups that is available today.

Easily capable of Extreme resolution gaming and ridiculous frames.

Above is the extensive review of 2 7870s in Xfire - the results are, as usual with 7xxx series Xfire scaling, astounding.

I'll be picking one up this weekend and Xfiring later.
