Hey guys, i was about to pick up an msi r9 280 (around £160) for my first gaming pc build when my friend gave me an offer of 2 gtx 670s (msi power edition oc) for £180. Just wondering what I should pick up.
 
Solution
As a rule, I like a good single card where possible.
But an offer for TWO GTX670 cards at the price of one 280 seems like a very good deal.
You will need a 750w psu and a sli capable motherboard.

So you're saying for me to go 3 way crossfire? I'm not sure if that would be a bit too much heat for my system and from my friends' experience, watercooling probably isn't for me at the moment (he had a very nasty leak that made half of his system useless). Plus my mobo can't support it (3-way crossfire) I don't think.

Here's the build i'm going for: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/MJF6K8

Do I need any upgrades there? please bear in mind my absolute top budget is £700 no matter what.

thanks for the reply.
