Dual video cards will be better for gaming, as not many games can effectively utilize all 4 cores. Plus, phenoms aren't that great in the first place.
 
I say get the same CPU since Phenoms aren't supposed to be much good. Why not go intel though if you are selling? Their overclockability makes them the better deal.

Last time I checked buying two 3870's is cheaper then getting one X2... Atleast over here that's the facts.
 
are they equal though? i thought crossfire is inefficient and doesn't create double the performance. for that matter, does a 3870 X2?
