Hi, I'm currently running two Radeon HD 7770s in my rig I purchased from the Post Exchange on Schofield Barracks about a year ago and I do so believe it is time for a GPU upgrade, especially since they're cannibalized from my previous build.
I'm currently running the following:
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
AMD FX9590 4.7GHz
16GB 1866MHz G.Skill Sniper RAM (2x8GB)
Xion AXP-1000K14XE PSU
XSPC Raystorm, XSPC 240mm Rad, XSPC X2O DC-750 Res/pump combo
WD1003FZEX 1TB HDD
2x Xfired Radeon HD 7770 GPUs
Cooler Master 932 HAF Case.

I'm not sure weather to keep to the AMD/ATI path I've been following or if I should go NVidia. Suggestions and or tips would be helpful.

Wouldn"t I have to get a higher wattage psu to run two R9 280x? It seems like a good option, however, it would be a good while to save up for that. (making like 8 bucks an hour full time)

I picked up the MSI R9 280x (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127786). Might just need the one for now. Thanks for the help.
