Buy lots of them.Or, at least the two that board will fit.
Crossfire or not for gaming, doesn't matter. I'm not sure if it interferes with compute - SLI used to, but I don't know anything about Crossfire since I don't connect multiple cards together for gaming. And you'll want around 1000W to be comfortable. You could get away with less with two 7970s, but there's not a big cost savings, and efficiency often drops on power supplies as you get close to 100% load on them.
7970s, thats what I was hoping to hear. It seems to be very popular.
Is the Ghz edition worth it? Today I see the XFX 7970 on sale for 359.99 after rebate of course. But I was looking at possibly picking up a pair of these with the new power supply and calling it complete. Some point in the future I want to replace the mb and proc for something newer and holds maybe 4 7970s.
