I live in the Netherlands and am planning to buy the follow components, they are second hand:

 

GPU: Club 3D Radeon HD 7950 '13Series (x2) in Dual Crossfire.

CPU: AMD FX-8320.

MOBO: MSI 970 Gaming.

RAM: 16GB (4x4GB) Kingston ValueRAM DDR3 1600MHz.

Boot Disk (SSD): Sandisk SSD 64GB 490/240MB/s.

Main Disk (HDD): WD Blue 500GB.

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master 212 EVO.

PSU: Corsair RM1000.

 

These components are like new, but still second hand.

Total price would be: 600 EUR -> 677,31 USD -> 943,15 CAD.

 

I would like to hear your opinions about this build, shall I do it?

What resolution are you expecting to play at? Is this a legit gaming rig that you will game on all the time? Or is it just a rig you want to build? What is your budget?

Going to play at 1920x1080 with maxed out settings.

Wow overkill on PSU?

How?

The GPU's are going to run at 250w each at stock speeds, I'm going to overclock it about 20%, gonna be 300w each, 600w total.

The CPU is at stock 125w, I'm going to overclock to 4,5/4,7Ghz. (3,5Ghz is stock!). I guess about 200w.

I don't know if my calculations are right, having 200w spare just to be safe and I can get the PSU for a good price.

I'm not sure if it's for u, but I think getting just one and better gpu would be the better way to go. Also you could get a lower psu and spend this money on a even better gpu or a 128gb ssd.

 

What do u think? Btw I don't get this microstuttering

I don't need a bigger SSD, I'm only going to boot up Windows on it..

The RM1000 is 120 euros, I can get a CX750M for 60 and buy a better GPU (single or Xfire).
