Alright all you Pc experts out there, I need your opinions. The thing is, I'm a Pc noob, I'm coming over from consoles, and I don't know much about Pcs at all. So, to get me started, I ordered off of CyberPowerPc, but after I came here and read about how they skimp out on the graphics cards and making your own build is cheaper and better, I read some reviews on the graphics card that it came with, which is the AMD Radeon R9 270, and well... it has average performance, which is okay for now, but I'm going to be playing very demanding games and I don't think It's going to be enough at all and I'll be running into problems. I don't have it yet, it's supposed to arrive on the 21st. I'll post my build, and give me the pros and cons of Crossfire. The reason I don't just buy a single better graphics card is because I have just enough for another AMD Radeon 270. So, here it is guys.
AMD FX-9370 Processor
8GB XPG V2 1866MHz RAM
AMD R9 270 2GB Graphics
GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD3 MB
1TB SATA3 7200 RPM HD
24X DVD+R/+RW DRive
So, this is my build, is Crossfire a good idea? Advantages, disadvantages? And also, I read somewhere that this processor puts out heat like a monster, do I need to buy spare water coolers? No doubt I should have asked for a build and build one myself, but It's too late, I can only improve my build from what I have now with a spare $250.
