Hello there!

So this is my first build, I would like to hear what you think about it. A big chunk of the money goes into the Monitor, that's  because I thought, I don't want to spend 200$ on a Monitor now and later when I need a new one another 700$. So my firts question would be: How long is a Montior expected to work? The same goes with the Case and Motherboard. In the future I plan to get an SSD, an AIO, additional 8GB of RAM and andother RX480 in Crossfire. So here's my second question: Does my motherboard support Crossfire? I'm not quite sure, and I couldn't find any clear info on the Web, so maybe you could help me out here. And my third question is: Is 650 Watt enough for two RX480 + the rest of the Build? 

Thank you very much for reading and replying, have a nice day!

Yes that is enough wattage currently for the build but I really would recommend to get something else, that's an entry level unit being put in a fairly powerful system.

Apparently G1 gaming isn't great. Otherwise solid

The G1 Gaming is the worse 480. 

 

@Manetor02 That PSU is actually awful, get something like a CX550M/650M instead (make sure it has a grey label).

I don't recommend the G1 Gaming. I have the 1080 version and it is no slower than the others but the build quality is not the best as it is mostly plastic and the fans make a sort of grinding noise at high rpm due to the power cable for the fans catching on the fans them self.
