Hello again, now I'm asking if I should get one more of my current card or if I should buy a new one, I know that my motherboard have two slots for gpu's so should I crossfire or should I get a new one?
GPU: Sapphire Radeon hd 7870 2GB GHz edition
(can I combine it with this card?: XFX Radeon HD 7870 2GB BLACK GDDR5)
CPU: athlon x4 760 black edition

The 7870 is still a great card. I would say wait a few months to a year until prices drop then grab a r9 280x or r9 290.

The 7870 can still run pretty much every game on maximum settings, so you should wait on an upgrade. Crossfire doesn't double your performance, so it is not really worth the cash. I really doubt the 7870 would run with a 7870 XT because the XT is based on AMD's Tahiti architecture, while the 7870 is based on AMD's GCN architecture.
I would just wait until the card becomes outdated; there's no need for an upgrade. The 7870 still qualifies as high-end, and is probably the sweet spot for the value.

This. Maybe upgrade something else? like a SSD?
