What i'm wondering with this is i want to upgrade my GPU. I want to know if its a better idea to go with another r9 270x and just put them in crossfire or should i save up for a complete new GPU like a 770 or 780 and in the long future crossfire them. But that would be a year down the road. So either i could add the second r9 270x now or upgrade to a complete new one.
**Note that im upgrading my CPU and motherboard to a i7 4770k or an i5 4690k in the next few months
