Upgrade Path: Radeon 7850

[Champloo]

Hey guys, just looking for some quick advice.

 

 

My current machine has a 2gb msi 7850 and a 3570k(4.2). Really, the only game I play much is League of Legends and the card handles that + streaming just fine. However, I'm going to be getting a second monitor(just to watch streams and the like while I game) so I think I'm going to need to upgrade.

 

My question is, how should I upgrade? Looking around, it's very hard to find decent deals on a 7850 or 7870, and I'm not sure if it's even worth the time to crossfire with a 270, 270x etc. Do I bite the bullet and just buy a single card that will fit my needs(2 screens, 1080p only, mostly playing league with occasional streaming)?

Nope you should be fine if your just watching streams because that is not demanding at all. No need to upgrade

You can get a used 7850 for less than 100$ to crossfire. Adding a second monitor won't really impact your performance more than a frame or two... so don't bother upgrading?
