Would be worth it?

So far this is the simple build I'd use for 1080p:

But I am intrested if I should get slightly better motherboard with crossfire support which maybe I could upgrade with another rx 480 8gb and go to 1440p.

good build...dual gpu not worth it. if u have the money now buy a 1070

Solid build. Always go for one powerful card instead of 2 less powerful ones.

Yeah, the upgrade for crossfire not worth it now. Vega is coming out soon, but in late 2017, so...

not too bad, personaly i dont trust Sandisk but it should be fine, they have improved since my last experience i hear. if you want to buy now its not bad, if you can wait untill after this summer you could probably get way better value with a Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 3 CPU but thats quite the wait tbh. i wouldent go for Xfire, not really worth it IMO

Hmm... I did not know much about Vega, my bad. But maybe Ryzen instead of the 7500?

I was wondering to get the PC at end of march... Maybe at end of April since I still need few €.

But I hate waiting when it comes to buying new PC's.

 

The prices may change at that time but who knows...

Your build is very good but it's not really worth it doing SLI / Crossfire because there is not that much performance bonus is games. Hope this helps

I'm planning to get good enough PC that would run most of the games on max/very high settings with no problems... And also I'll do programming as my hobby.

 

I was wondering for the Crossfire, because I might not upgrade it right away... I just need to know if it would be worth in future since from benchmarks it's slightly better than gtx 1070 and battles with gtx 1080

I don't think it would be worth it. I would wait to have money for an GTX 1080.

1080 is for my taste very expensive.. Might go with 1070 but I'm aiming for future prof that could last like near 3-5 years.

Ryzen 5(the 6 cores) are launching in Q2 of this year and Ryzen 3(the 4 cores) are launching some time after the summer, its quite the wait to go Ryzen
