I have a 7870 right now and I was wondering if I should get a second one to crossfire or to sell it and use the money plus some more to buy a 7970. Your thoughts?

If you wanted a second 7870 you would also need to get a better PSU. It would be a lot easier just to get the 7970, so I vote for the 7970. But you should really consider getting a better CPU first, such as an 8350/i5.

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 @ Stock, CPU cooler: Dark Rock 4, Motherboard: MSI B450M PRO-M2 MAX, RAM: 2x8GB Crucial Ballistix DDR4 @ 3000Mhz, GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 ACX 3.0, SSD: Crucial P1 1TB M.2 + 2x120GB SSDs, Case: Corsair 110R, PSU: Corsair TX650M, OS: Windows 10 64-bit.

In your situation the HD 7970 IceQ X2 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007LFV7RM/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B007LFV7RM&linkCode=as2&tag=amzon0c-20 is the way to go. Like Classics said, you will have to purchase a new PSU to power two 7870's
