OK here is my system build

CPU: AMD A4 5300
GPU: VTX Radeon 7770 1GB GDDR5
RAM:6 GB
PSU:LC Power 600 watt with two PCI-e Cables
One HDD Caviar Blue 500 gb
One Optical Drive
MOBO: MSI A78M-E45 With Two PCI-e Slots
2 Case Fans Termaltake's

So Whats Better Grabbing a GTX 480 By ASUS or Crossfireing 7770 ?

If U Help Me U Will be rewarded with the best answer !

PS: I Know i will have a bottleneck but i will upgade to a Athlon II X4 750K
 
Solution
if money isn't issue GTX 480 uses up significantly less energy than dual 7770,takes up less space and slightly superior than crossfire 7770, however when talking about cost efficient, since oyu already got 1 7770, buying 2nd one would be a cheaper option yielding in almost the same performance.

whats wrong with you? attacking him and offering expensive but decent i5 products and overpriced and shitty i3's.. It's not that of a horrible build,he can't just toss it away,seen many way more outdated builds and sometimes when you don't have enough $ getting entirely new PC is just not an option.
 


giving him helpful advice. non of these options will provide him with what he wants. I mean a gtx 480 we already have 780's. For OP i suggest you get a new psu because that psu isnt going to work. then upgrade later to a r9 270 or 280 then go to a i5/new mobo later.

he said he's upgrading to Athlon II X4 750K ,obviously if he would be swimming in cash he'd get i5 but their prices are err.. only people from wealthy countries can afford em,while 85% of world population have to forget about em,mind in that, X4 750K is a decent budget CPU,no match for i5 but has a better price/performance ratio. 600W PSU is fine as long as it's working and the R9 280 would create bottleneck with 750K, unless you suggested it with the i5,in that case the build would be outrageously expensive.
 


dude that psu is crap its going to blow up his system and his fancy new cpu/gpu's. the fx 6300 is a much better price performance and you can add a cheap mobo with it.

indeed FX-6300 is superior to athlon X4 750K, but hey he's after cheap CPU, and in the cheap line X4 750K is one of the best, though G3258 is considered somewhat better,since he uses motherboard with AMD socket it isnt an option.
 


yeah true so this is the best cheap option i guess.
