So anyway as title says i'm upgrading my PC from a Phenom II 980 (because the blasted thing is struggling majorly with a lot of games that i have and seems to be going downhill) to a Intel I5 3570, I already have most of the other parts for it as i'm going to cannibalize my old PC and already have a new copy of windows, But what i can't figure out is if its worth getting a 3.0 motherboard or not for my 7870 and was hoping someone would have some insight into it.
Only thing i plan to do is game and i'm planing to pick up a second 7870 in a few months here, Also going to use twin HDDs, and a single blueray burner.
Oh one other thing i'm mildy concerned that my PSU wont be enough for the new setup i'm currently rocking this thing

But i'm not sure it will hold up to an ivy bridge +7870, I know it will need to be upgraded when i crossfire but i'm wondering if for now it will be fine.
Thanks again for any help you can offer
