i5 2500k from microcenter $149

GIGABYTE GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 LGA 1155 from microcenter $40 after rebate as a combo with the i5

16gb G.Skills ripjaw x ddr3 1600 $60 from newegg

Seagate 2tb 3.0gb/s $50 from tigerdirect last year BF
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148413
HD4890 ATI radeon 1gb $69.99 from newegg

Total spent apx $490 with tax
Was thinking about crossfiring the 4890 with this 4870 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814103193
what do you think, worth it or would it be better to wait and upgrade the video card with something more powerful when the HD 7 series come out later next year?
