Hey, i was going to get this build from ibuypower.com for $870 and was wondering if it was a good deal and how long until i have to upgrade it to continue playing games at ok settings. i made sure the board supported crossfire but i dont know if the psu does. My dad wont let me build a pc so dont go screaming at me that im being cheated out of my money. Any help would be awesome. i will check back regularly.

I have that exact Mobo and an R9 270X. lol
With my 270x I can play BF4 high settings (1080p) and maintain a constant 50-60fps. On ultra the fps drops a bit more but it is still completely playable and smooth nearly all the time. It depends on what games you want to play and in 2-3 years time you will probably still be able to play most games at medium settings and get playable fps. I would not crossfire with that PSU so if you want to crossfire another 270x in future you should buy a 700w+ PSU.

If your dad won't let you build a pc. You could buy the parts and then get the guy at your local computer repair shop to assemble it and it would still cost a hell of a lot less.
