2 cards or 1

[Bic5]

I'd like to either buy two cards or one. If I were to buy one I was looking at getting to hd7770. My budget is around 130, my question is could I buy two cards for the same price or lower with the same performance as the hd7770? My psu is a 600w my processor is i5-3450. Thanks!!
Edit: ill be using a 23' as us monitor via Hdmi, I'd like to play crysis 3 and some of the newer 2013 games on medium settings

while there are some advantages of having two cards its usually better to have one powerful card to avoid any hassles of dual card configurations. so instead of two 7770 i would suggest a single 7850 or 7870

for your budget and psu i suggest one gpu. the 7770 will be enough, but a 7850 / gtx 660 will be heaps better.

Why are you obsessed with two cards? Your budget is low and you don't already own a card, so two cards doesn't make sense. Listen to the good advice that people are giving you. A 7770 is on the low end of GPUs but at your budget it's a good choice. Two cards requires more power(energy bill goes up and need a more expensive PSU).

Typically there are two people that use two GPUs:
1) if computer has a gpu and owner doesn't want to spend a lot more on a new gpu.
So he opts to put a second one in.
2) someone who wants to game on three monitors or
has a demanding monitor(27" 1440p 120Hz)
