Hi Tole2378

 

I have to ask the question which is why so keen on crossfire instead of the low cards in crossfire why dont you spend and buy 1 good card, as remember not all things will take advantage of the dual cards and remember the price-performance ratio of crossfire is a lot worse than price to performance of a single card, that goes for SLI too.

 

And that processor if you are about to spend £1600, i would get a stronger processor, something like a 8350 would be spot on and the performance + life of that chip will be insane!

 

Hope this helps

If you absolutley want an AMD CPU and a crossfire i'd say this  but keep in mind that i do not recommend this. I recommendf going for the build made before. 

 

Anybody have a good amd build with crossfire then?
