I built my first gaming PC a few months ago, and now I have some extra money to spend on upgrades (about $275 to spend). My current build is as follows:
CPU: FX-6300
GPU: PowerColor Devil R9 270x
RAM: 2x4Gb Ripjaws X 1866Mhz
MOBO: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
CASE: Antec One
PSU: EVGA 500W Bronze
Cooling: stock fans
Here is what I was thinking for an upgrade:
Here is my list of questions:
CPU: FX-6300
GPU: PowerColor Devil R9 270x
RAM: 2x4Gb Ripjaws X 1866Mhz
MOBO: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
CASE: Antec One
PSU: EVGA 500W Bronze
Cooling: stock fans
Here is what I was thinking for an upgrade:
■ Purchase second 270x
■ Get better cooling
■ Sell PSU and buy this Rosewill 630W PSU.
Here is my list of questions:
■ Is a 630W PSU enough for Crossfire 270x (the manufacturer recommends at least 600W for 270x in Crossfire)?
■ What cooling should I purchase given my current build?
■ Does it even make sense to crossfire the 270x given that I already own the card?
■ Does it even make sense to upgrade at the moment, or should I wait for better deals? If yes, what would you recommend I upgrade given my budget?
