Thanks for all the advice everyone. I ordered the 7950 linked by raghu78. I figure 1 will be great for now, and if the price drops in the future I can snag another to give xfire an attempt. Your input has been greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the advice spat55. In regards to ruhtraeel's comments, my case is gigantic (I bought it specifically to have no worries with cable management/upgrading components) so space isn't an issue. I have read about crossfire issues, but like you said it seems it has improved vastly...

Not sure, like I said I was very novice and my friend recommended that build. Now I'm a lot more educated and would have done things differently, alas 20/20 hindsight. Back on topic: an OC 7950 seems like a better bargain than a stock 7970. I figure might as well get 2x 7950 in crossfire...

I have considered another 560, but it's quite tempting to get 2 7950's to crossfire as it should be supported by my system. I also figure it will last a couple more years before upgrading. Thank you all for your advice thus far.

Yes, I am open to crossfire or SLi. Extreme PS Calc says I can run the 7950 in xfire.

First, here's my rig my friend helped me build 1 year ago. Monitor = EQ276W 2560x1440 Intel Core i5-3550 Ivy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2500 ASUS P8Z77-V LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard...
