Either go for a 390 or try and fit a R9 Fury (which should be around 500$)

Never go with crossfire/sli if you have the option to get a better, single card solution. Personally I would recommend the 980, but I haven't had too much experience with recent amd cards to make a judgement on the red side.

Agreed. You'll get way better price to performance from a single card than 2 cards.

My ~$200 USD build:

AMD A8-7600    G. Skill Ripjaws Z @1800 CAS 8     EVGA 500w 80+ PSU    Gigabyte GAF2A68HM-DS2H Motherboard

Just wait to buy a fury or a better single GPU card, you won't regret it.

My i5 6500 is bad and can't even maintain 4.5ghz, and 4.4ghz causes it to slowly become unstable over weeks with a vcore of 1.395. FML

Might want to go with an Intel i5, unless you need the extra threads. Other than that, it seems like a decent build (other than the fact that you have two gpu's in there :P)

Get a GTX 980 and an unlocked i5 

I cant afford an unlocked i5 and a 980 because with an unlocked i5 i can probably only get like a 960 at most because AMD is really cheap right now
