So, this is my current system:

AMD FX-6300
XFX HD Radeon 7870 2GB Ghost Edition
12GB DDR 1600MHz PC-12800
Corsair CX600
Phantom 410

and pretty much a video I made to show my FPS while playing BF3:

So, I would like to get a bit more performance and I'm undecided. Should I get another 7870 and Crossfire it? Or a stronger card?

I was just looking at video cards in a range of 500$ giving up to 70FPSmin and 130FPSmax on BF3 and was concerned about upgrading or crossfireX my 7870.

Thanks..

Crossfire is broken at the moment, so I wouldn't consider it until AMD fixes it. Supposedly, they will release drivers that will fix Crossfire on July 31st. Wait until then to make your decision.
