I've pretty much never added in a second GPU right off the bat, would there be an advantages to doing so with such a powerful single GPU or would it be bottlenecked?

I don't know if he will do crossfire or not. He is still working off of like a 5 year old PC now which is why he is using a laptop to play.

Crossfire would be if you want to go 1440p and still play BF3 on ultra or something.

At 1080p that card will run everything you play. You could also just get one 7970 for a little more and it would last you for a very long time.

Basically for the future, you can always throw in a second card with no problems. Sometimes thats an easier/better upgrade path than getting a single card

Really only need 500w or 750w+
