Hi,
I'm going to buy a new video card(s) today, and what I'm looking at right now is the R9 290 since it seems like a pretty good deal. However, there is a deal for a 7870 LE for $140 AR right now:

From what I understand, if I CF two of these, I should get performance that is above that of the R9 290, for cheaper ($280 vs $400).
My question is, should I do this? Are there any downsides? I know that CF works fine with the R9 290/290X, does it work well with the 7xxx series?
