so i already bought a processor(fx8320)
mobo(m5a99fx pro)
ram(crucial ballistix 8gb)
and i alreday have a 1080p monitor and a case .
now iam abit confused about my gpu and psu ..
i previously considered to go with gtx 760 sli with a 750w psu ..
but recently i came to know about the VRAM problem in sli ..
that it will only have 2gb of vram !!
now i am considering r9 280x(sapphire dual-x) in crossfire ... with a 850w psu
but i opted for the least priced as i cant go higher than that ..
now my question is ... will the seasonic s2ii 850w psu be enough for r9 280x crossfire ???
and is sapphire's 'dual-x' r9 280x good ???
and what if i buy a gtx 760 2gb and another gtx 760 with a 4gb memory ???
will that be 4 or 2 gigs?
should i go for asus gtx 760 sli or sapphire dual-x r9 280x crossfire ?
and the cost of asus 760 is about 20000inr(332$)and r9 280x costs 21000inr(349$)

and the reason i am going for a dual gpu setup is because i can't afford a high end gpu right now ..
and ill probably be buying the second gpu(sli/crossfire) in nxt 4,5 months.

Hi,
-You don't need 2X R9 280X for resolution more than 1920X1080p, it will be just a waste of money.
-R9 280X is more powerful than GTX 760, also the same applies to 2xR9 280X vs 2XGTx 760
-2GB x 4GB of VRAM will give you only 2GB of VRAM

why dont you buy the GTX760 4gb version, then add another later.
I have the MSI gaming GTX 760 4 gb in sli and it destroys most games on ultra at 1080p.
You must have two 4gb version and not one 2gb and one 4 gb.
