Upgrade for Gaming Build

[elpfd]

Hey guys,

My current system:

Mobo: Asrock z77 extreme4
CPU: Intel i5-3570
GPU: Visiontek 7850 2GB
PSU: Seasonic M12 520W
RAM: 8GB

So I'm trying to decide what the best way to upgrade is. Should I buy another 7850 for xfire or go with a single 7950/70? Or maybe something else entirely? Also, if I go xfire, do I need a PSU with more wattage? What do you guys think? Thanks.

I would be nice if you could have posted more specific information on your GPU, as there are around 40 with that same chipset.
But anyway, the 7850 should get around 40FPS on Crysis3 on High Detail, so I'm not quite sure why you are upgrading. But that's up to you...

XFiring another of the card you have is gonna cost you about $200 depending on which one you have, Getting a 7950 is going to cost you $300-400, and the 7970 will be $400-$500.
None of those configurations will require you to get a bigger PSU.

My bad, it's a Visiontek (part# 900505). Thanks for your input.

Ok, so it would be $230 for a second GPU
