I would like help deciding how big of a power supply I need. I plan on getting 2 graphics cards, and I would like recommendations on which 2 would be the best for about $400 total. Any other feedback is awesome, thanks!

Link doesn't work. For $400 DO NOT get 2 GPUs. That is never a good call. Get a single r9 290.

I fixed it haha. Apparently I double pasted it.

I was planning on just getting one now, and down the road picking up another GPU. Do you think that would be wise?

tiny voices · Apr 15, 2014

If down the road is like 1 year or longer, then yes thats fine, but if you are going to get one in like a month, just get a single better card with the money.

Also, you cannot even use 2 cards on that motherboard. Also the CPU is too weak for a 290 or two mid range cards.

So what CPU do you recommend? And I know of a motherboard that can do SLI and Crossfire.

tiny voices · Apr 15, 2014

The motherboard MUST run both PCI lanes at 8x/8x. Yours runs at 16x/4x making the second card useless.

Y0u would need an 8320 minimum to not bottleneck two 270x's.

Are you saying something along these lines? And what about my PSU is 750W sufficient?

tiny voices · Apr 15, 2014

That board will work but you REALLY want a 990 chipset for stability and power reasons.

Your PSU is enough.

tiny voices · Apr 15, 2014

Are your buying one 270 not and one later? Also, you should get a 270x for only $10 more. It is decently more powerful.

This one good? And I might upgrade to the 270x.

tiny voices · Apr 15, 2014

That is a much better motherboard.

Definitely get a 270x. The price is only $10 more and it is a much better card.
