New graphics card?

Hey guys, I've had my 7850 for almost a year now and I haven't really had too many problems. I have plans to eventually (sometime within the next 3 months) to buy 2 more monitors and run a 3 monitor setup. Currently I still come across games like crysis 3 and metro last light where I cannot run them on max and that somewhat bugs me. With these new games coming out in the winter months I would like to upgrade to a 7970ghz edition. I would be running 3 1920x1080p 21.5" monitors, a 3570k not overclocked and a fairly decent mobo. I have a 700w powersupply that is gold certified and I was wondering if that would be enough to handle the 7970. I would not be doing any tweaking with any of the hardware, just running it as it is. Should I wait till the 8000 series come out? I'm open to any opinions so just let me know in a reply

Thanks,

700W is way more than enough to run a single 7970. That said, I'm not sure that you'll be satisfied with the performance of a single 7970 if you're trying to run Crysis 3 across three monitors.
 
Well to be fair those games I don't play too often. 8 play more of mechwarrior online, warthunder, league of legends and planning to buy battlefield 4 and most new games coming out. If I had to switch to 1 monitor for certian games like crysis 3 and metro last light I wouldnt mind, as long as I could max them on one monitor. I would be buying games such as watchdogs, thecrew and basically anything that looks good. Written on my phone so sorry for gramnar. Thanks - Vzuse.
