Amronavich · Apr 27, 2014

Is it too much should i buy a fx 8320 instead and save the bucks for ram better case and coolimg other stuff also how much fraps will the better i7 4770 exceed the 8320 if equipped with that card?

If you are gaming just get the 4670k. the 4770 is for developing and will give little to no performance boost in gaming.

yeah get the i5 4670k and use the saved money to get a r9 280x or r9 280, or r9 270x, or even gtx 760

^^ what they said

Amronavich · Apr 28, 2014

Unfortunatly i already bought the r7 i was thinking of using the money to crossfire it

thanks for ur replies

But my psu is 500 watt and wont handle it also i got a 300 watt psu can i connect the two of them also will the 8320 handle crosfire ? Sorry for being heavy

I wouldn't risk combining two low end psu like that....can you buy the cheap EVGA 500w or 600w bronze certified PSU or the Corsair Builder CX 500w or 600w?

I wouldn't run your gpu on that 300w, if your PSU is that low you need a new one, or you could have gotten the low power requirement GPU GTX 750ti

Will the evga 500w handle 2 r7,s also the 500 watt powersupply is cooler master v2 and thanks in advance

I've heard bad things about Cooler Master Power supplies over time. They're better than oem psu in prebuilt pc's though. It would handle one r7 260x but I wouldn't crossfire on it till you get a better psu, it's not worth blowing out the PSU and frying everything with it....I know I'd be very sad if that happened to mine lol. I wouldn't crossfire on your current cooler master psu.

edit: oh, and yes the EVGA one is a good power supply and would handle crossfire, the corsair builder is usually even cheaper and it's recommended and has good reviews from johnnyguru the trusted PSU review site

Thank u for help appreciate it

yes ur right sometimes when i raised my vga fan from the catalyst games began losing abput 10 frames so i think the psu is the cause

NO i7 the processor not r7 the GPU. we are saying get the i5 4670k processor.

I would not bother with crossfire on that card. Just go with this, then start saving up for a better GPU. If possible, return the 260x and get a better GPU.
