You can almost double your profits by spending 300 on a 7950 (~600 kh/s) instead of 160 on a 7850 (~320).  You'd also have a card that will be easier to sell back in the future (IMO) as the 7950 is a much superior video card.  The 7850 w/o crossfire is already struggling on some of the newer PC games.
