[Newegg] $99 7870(r9 270) $129 7950(r9 280)

The eBay cards are definitely mining cards.

You can usually ask for a live demo when it comes to Craiglist.

^ It has a nice fan that can be turned off with a custom fan curve with a case with good airflow.

OK.

Would it be worth it for me to buy that 7850 and Xfire?

Here's what I was able to find in terms of getting benchmarks.  Personally, I'd say go for it:

--Black Ops 2 multiplayer: 124-178 FPS

--Far Cry 3: 78-150 FPS

--Borderlands 2: 175-245 FPS Physx on Low

--Dishonored: 128-130 FPS

--Crysis 2: 65-102 FPS DX11 with Maldo High Resolution Textures

--Just Cause 2: 122-280 FPS 8X Aliasing

--Metro 2033: 49-82 FPS DX11

--Crysis 3: 39-65 FPS Aliasing Disabled

Also keep in mind the recent Omega drivers improve on these numbers, as well as problems with CF... apparently.  I got a 7950 myself, so I'm excited to see how Omega will fare as well.
