290 crossfire is a bad decision, go for a single 1070.

Hmm.. 2x R9 290 in crossfire will cost me around SGD$460(est $230 each) while the GTX1070 will be around SGD$600 ,all cards with 3 fans gigabyte version

Two things:

 

- a single, more powerful, graphics card is always better than any CF or SLI set up. Not all games support multiple graphics cards and there's often glitches, etc.

 

- a single GTX-1070 can run on a basic 500watt power supply. So you need to compare the price of 2x 290s + 850watts to 1x 1070 + 500watts.

 

- er, third thing - Two 290s will dissipate much more heat and consume more power and be much noisier. You might therefore, also need to spend extra on cooling fans for the case, to get rid of the extra heat.

 

 

A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve.

i5-6600, 16Gigs, ITX Corsair 250D, R9 390, 120Gig M.2 boot, 500Gig SATA SSD, no HDD

Yeah i know about the first point ,but i have already ordered my 850w psu ,so the price of the psu won't affect
