I recommend you start with a single card first, then see if you want another card. With one card you can get 30FPS+ in pretty much all games maxed out (not AA maxed out). Are you satisfied with FPS between 30 and 60, or do you like a constant 60FPS?

If and once you do get CrossFire, I can help you out, guide you through. Not hard.

Almost all get accelerated, close to 100% too, so that's no problem.

Do you have any experience with OCing? You might need to OC a bit to crank out 60FPS in Crysis 3 maxed out.

I don't know a lot about OCing ans I don't really want to buy more fans and stuff.

You should have good airflow anyways. Leaving everything at stock does not mean airflow can be passed on. Some good cooling should be ensured regardless, as you are buying pretty high-end components that do heat up.
