Hi, my cousin wants to make his own PC. He has the budget for a mediocre PC but he wants "monsterish" PC,unfortunately, he cant. So he decided to get a crossfire/sli motherboard so he can buy an octocore AMD cpu then buy a mediocre gpu that can support crossfire/sli. So when time comes (probably months!) he can buy same GPU then just plug it in on the MoBo.



ps. He also wants to know the needed voltage. Thanks in advance :3

For SLI, the GTX660 is in the budget range, for X-Fire the R9-270X should work. According to Tom's here http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-car... the R9-270X is one tier higher than the GTX 660 which IMO is not enough to be a concern. The R9 is the newer card, finding a new GTX 660 may be tricky a few months down the road the R9-270X's should still be available

I didn't have time to complete the answer earlier, for virtually all 2 card SLI/X-Fire configurations, a quality 750W PSU should suffice, 850W is desirable if you want some headroom. I'll suggest looking at brands such as Antec, Corsair (not CX models), Enermax, EVGA, FSP (Aurum series), NZXT, OCZ, SeaSonic, XFX
