Nope, that CPU is pretty strong. But Why not put the money together, and buy a stronger card? Like a R9 290?
will an r9 290 be better than at least 270x crossfire? i'll play bf4, titanfall, crysis 3. If i am not mistaken, those titles scale good on sli/crossfire right?
270x in crossfire will beat it, of course, but here are a few problems
1. Not all games will support crossfire or SLI at day one, or weeks before it's been out. Heck, there are games that will not support SLI or crossfire at all. The second card would be just sitting there on idle.
2. 1 card is stable verse 2 cards, there will be software issues with crossfire. Crossfire and SLI aren't perfect, but it works.
3. Heat output of 2 AMD cards will be a issue, depending on the airflow inside your case. You might also need case fans so the cards will get enough airflow to keep themselves cool.
4. The power usage is another problem depending on what PSU you have. Some say that 750 watts is recommended.
I always recommend spending the money on a single,higher end card, then 2 weaker cards.
