XFIRE £1300

[bart69132]

So should i go xfire with this build or single fury x, i plan on getting a 4k freesync monitor. 

 

I will be playing BF5 (when it's out), far cry primal, GTA V(with graphic mods if possible) and lots of other games. Thoughts?

Single GPU by far. Avoid XFire issues, have less heat, less power consumption.

 

I'd go for the 980Ti over the Fury X though. The performance edge and the 6GB of VRAM will be more suited for modding games.

Better off with a Xeon 1231v3 over an unlocked i5

 

also just run a single 390 now and upgrade in 6 months or so when all the new stuff comes out

 

4K display is included, probably going to want a nicer case and an SSD maybe

It's 700 pounds for a G-sync display, Vs 359 for the free-sync one above, and a 980ti is still overall a bad buy right now.
