Gigabyte R9 270X sli?

[jack_frost]

I am building a pc and I already ordered everything except the GPU. I found the Gigabyte r9 270x and I have enough money to buy 2. Should I buy 2? I am going to use this PC as my main gaming rig. I wanna be able to play all games and get at least 60FPS at 1080P like dayz, Arma 2-3, witcher 3, GTA 5 etc.  Here are my specs:

- Case: Corsair 350D

- CPU: AMD Athlon x4 860K black edition 
- Mother board: Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H
- RAM: Corsair 4gb 1333mhz ( I am getting another 8gb stick)
- PSU: Corsair CX series CX600 600W.
- HDD: 360 gb ( I am planning on upgrading)

"SLI"

It's going to be bottlenecked though.....

Also, it's called Crossfire, not SLI.

the r9 270x won't make you run witcher 3 at max settings at 60 fps. and Amd is called Xfire not SLI

You should get more RAM

XFire*

 

No. Please don't... Get a single card for the same price as the two cards. 

[Sam Z Man]

Get a 280 anything more will not be able to be utilized by your CPU.

[Atmos]

First off.

 

Get more ram before even considering ANY other upgrade. 4gb is not enough period.

 

Then move on to getting a better cpu. a 4440 or 4350 will give you miles of difference in performance, and not bottleneck to such a large degree a better gpu.

 

After you've done those two things, then get a better gpu. Something along the lines of a 280X, or a 280, or 960 2gb. Or, you can then follow what you want here, and get another 270X for crossfire. It will still not run Witcher 3 at max settings 60fps, but it will give you quite a lot more performance.

No, if you have that much money you should be getting a more balanced build. If I were you I would return CPU and mobo and get an i3+R9 280/X instead

Your better off getting a 290x lightning from MSI if you wanna stay on team Red, and then spend the savings on more ram. in the end unless you are in near top tier or at top tier gpu crossfire/sli dont make sense, no if you on the other hand already own a mid range gpu then sli/crossfire makes sense for EXISTING upgrade, but two mid tier gpu will only sometimes out perform top tier gpu. and still to this day single gpu is more stable.

What the fuck you do know he has a 860K for a CPU right.

290X with 860K isn't a good pair....

CPU bottleneck.

Hey bro, I heard you like bottles.

 

So I got you a 290X for your 860K.

 

So you can bottleneck, while you bottleneck.

This is how I will reply to posts from now on, if there is a bottleneck inbound.

i was sleepy and i missed the cpu part sheesh, i was more focused on the 2x 270 part

Ah I understand, I have posted some serious stupid crap when im sleepy.
