All parts are good but I can change some parts to be better performance .

But why you R CF 2x 270X when you can get 1x GTX 970 with better performance, less power consuming, less temp and cheaper ?

But if you R already got 1 270X just sell it and get GTX 970

I would recommend this build, and spend less on your peripherals.

This is a better setup, as you are better off with a single stronger card than two weaker cards in almost all situations

Instead of 270x cf, get a 970. 8320 and overclock it to 8350 speeds.

Go with a Tier 1/2A psu from this list.

lol, 3 people beat me to it because I was watching TV.

Great. But here's a better one. Single GPU will be better.

1) already bought one of the Gpus so can't switch 2) would I get 300 fps while streaming with i5 4690k as I would with 8350?

IndyAJD · Oct 8, 2014

I agree with everyone else. But you don't need to spend that much on a fan. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO gets the job done for $30.

lightcloud · Oct 8, 2014

Ok then Crossfire it. Pointless to me IMO.

Let me ask you, can you see 300FPS? I don't think I can... But you should be able to get more than 100FPS which is more than needed.

Gam3r01 · Oct 8, 2014

I still wouldnt Xfire with the 270X, save for a better card.
Also, 300 wont happen. An i5 and a 7970, which is equivalent to a 280X only pulls 212 on high.

fiitzyyy · Oct 8, 2014

In cs go I prefer 300 fps no you can't see it but it makes a difference in the fluidity of the game.

fiitzyyy · Oct 8, 2014

And I'd play on low settings not high

lightcloud · Oct 8, 2014

I agree with that. But a single GPU is more suitable but the single R9 270X will not handle it. So Crossifre it. Or save that money and get a single graphics card in the future.

If low then don't crossfire.

fiitzyyy · Oct 8, 2014

What I'll do since I just got 1 270x delivered today is ill last on that for awhile and save for a better card. But still would I get 300 fps on low with i5 oc to 4 ghz?

AntonM95 · Oct 8, 2014

just sell it and get GTX 970 it's much better and see my build at first answer after edit

fiitzyyy · Oct 8, 2014

Where would I sell it at (Not eBay or Craigslist)

AntonM95 · Oct 8, 2014

fiitzyyy :

I think that you can refund it and change the order to GTX 970 from the market you bought then remove the card from the build and get other parts (in here I can change the item in 14 days at your country I don't know how many days at yours)

fiitzyyy · Oct 8, 2014

Bought it from newegg and literally got it 5 hours ago

AntonM95 · Oct 8, 2014

fiitzyyy :

that's very good I guess that you can return it easily, Right ?
and then you can get one GTX 970 "that's better choice".

lightcloud · Oct 8, 2014

No no no. Please make a refund. You should have mentioned that at the start. Now use the money and get a better graphcis card. I recommend the GTX 970.
