Overclock? Sli? Crossfire?

Merueth, do you think a 7850 is good enough? What would the next level up from a 7850 be?

I'm wanting to have just a single Video Card. As far as overclocking, and Crossfire.. I really am not 100% sure..

IMO, the only justifiable increase is the GTX 670 at $400, which would get 60 FPS. The 7850 would get around 35 FPS, but a decent overclock would bring it up to 45 FPS. The 7870 gets around 40 FPS, with that overclock bringing it up to 50. The Radeon cards have a lot of trouble with AA, which is why they struggle so much at Ultra. You can also consider the GTX 570, which sits between the 7870 and the 7850, and gets around 40 FPS, but doesn't have as much overclocking headroom as the 78xx cards.
