Problem I'm currently having is finding Information about the FX 8350 paired with 2x Gigabyte R9 270x's in Crossfire

will there be any bottlenecks with this setup?

 

Il be using the Gigabyte GA-990FXA UD3 R4 http://www.umart.com.au/umart1/pro/Products-details.phtml?id=10&id2=182&bid=2&sid=137791

I believe the R4 stands for the Revision 4 version?

Il be using the H100i to cool the FX - 8350 

Ram will be 2 sticks of Corsair Vengeance (8GB 1600Mghz)

To power everything is Corsair's RM850 PSU

i'm assuming your 8350 is oced, so no not really. maybe certain games you might play that are heavily cpu bound then yeah.

well there is not so much bottleneck with the dual 270X

 

but could you explain the reason for picking the dual 270X for a single 290?

 

the 290 and the dual 270x are the same price where i see it

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Il most likely be Overlocking the 8350 to around 4.2-4.4ghz

well the performance will be close to the 290 at 1080P gaming

 

but you will hit the wall when you try run games higher than 1080P due to the 2GB VRAM limit

I shouldn't have any problems in the Switch 810 with all the fan spots utilized
