This is a budget build, and the matx board is cheaper. They still can upgrade later to an ATX for more features if they get that case.

XFire isn't necessary when you're on a build like this. It's a budget build and it shouldn't be considered at this price. A single GPU is always going to be better for you.

 

What's wrong with the parts I gave you? Just because it's not MSI, doesn't mean it's not better. Don't try to spend extra money on something unnecessary.

 

Mobo is black and blue and it's an ATX.

I don't call $900 budget. And the XFire is for later so I can add another GPU if I need to. And Im an MSI fanboy :P. I trust their products and they make the best looking mobos IMO

you won't be running crossfire at pcie 3.0 x4/x4...you'd need a much better motherboard anyways...and PSU.

Don't need XFire/SLI unless you have a 980Ti/Fury X. You're better off upgrading to a 390 instead of XFiring two 380s since a single GPU is always going to be better.

 

SSD is going to make your life alot easier. Switch out the PSU.

i would go with what @HKZeroFive suggested above...it,s a great build for the price.

i would let go the SSD for now for a better GPU instead though...i would consider the SSD for a future upgrade especially if you care about gaming performance most.

It's a "meh" PSU. There are cheaper options that would be better.

If I spent 20 bucks more and got a GS 750 watt would the build be better? And if Xfireing a 380 isnt worth it my next upgrade (after case) will be a Fury or 980 and then XFireing it. Adding Xfire now just doesnt mean I have to later

The SeaSonic PSU is cheaper and will perform reliably. I don't see why you have to get an overkill 750W one for more money.

 

I highly doubt that'd be soon. Save the money now and worry about that later. Like I said, you gotta spend at least $900 CAD on a GPU before you start to consider XFire/SLI. It's going to present quite a few problems so a single-card solution is always the best bet.
