What is the cheapest CPU for 480 CF

So I really want to be able to Crossfire 2 480s in the coming future but face a dilemma. My CPU might be a bottleneck but i'm not really for sure about it, I currently have a Intel i5-4440 3.1Ghz cpu. Imo this is an okay CPU but I really want to know if it will be a bottle neck for Crossfire 480s or just a single 480?

It should be fine, especially for a single 480

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

well a single 480 will already max out any game at 60fps, the i5 wouldnt be a bottleneck fro CF, it will mostly depends on what games do you play, id recomend anny well known 650w+ PSU such as Seasonic, or the one i use the Corsair CS650M 80+gold

Main PC:| CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 @ 4.1, MOBO: Asus B350 PRIME , RAM: LPX Vengance 2400 16gb kit, GPU: 980Ti Poseidon Platinum 6gb
                PSU: SilverStone Strider Gold Evolution 1200w , CASE: HAF 932  HDDs:240gb EX900 HP NVME 6TB (2x3 Seagate Barracuda)
                COOLING: ThermalTake Contac Silent 12

Just out of curiosity, how do you know what a single 480 is capable of? We don't even know what resolution OP is playing at. I highly doubt, based on tech specs alone, that we can say a 480 will max out ANY game at 1440p for example...

Well we can't say for sure what it will be like yet but so far what we've seen suggests it performs very much like a GTX 980, which does have established performance figures

Well im currently running at just plain 1080p and I play not super resource requiring games, but if I get a better system I will probably play more requiring games like JC3 and some others.
