1080p bottleneck?

[xXATHERIALXx]

So I'm planning on building a new PC and I'm planning on having an I7 7700K 16GB Ram but I'm not sure for GPU, I'm thinking either a single 1070 8GB or Crossfire RX480 8GB, mostly going to be doing 1080p gaming and later on get a 1440p or 4k monitor. Would I get better performance with the 480s or the 1070?

480's will give better raw performance but the 1070 has better overall compatibility with games

Sli/Crossfire is iffy to say the least 480s will give you about the raw preformance of a 1080 but i whould recommend the 1070 becouse it uses less power and is more reliable.

Multi-GPUs is a gamble because the game needs to support it. And then there's the problem with micro-stuttering unless this has finally been addressed.
