Hi, i would like to know if i am able to crossfire the 7970 for my build. Will 2 of these graphic card fit in that case and mobo? Also is there a better gpu or similar around $300-400USD. Planning to get one now and crossfire when there's a deal for this gpu. Thank for your time.

Thanks~~

Looks good to me. Although you should go for the next gen R9 280X if you can. It is essentially a 7970 at a similar price point with better power consumption. I believe Asus makes a Matrix version of that as well.

It's definitely future-proof. You'll be running games on Ultra and then some. The only other thing to improve on it would be to add a solid state drive to reduce loading times in games. But that can be done later on.
