I am upgrading peice by peice as a budget gaming pc, I have currently obtained an fx 6300, AsRock 970-Extreme4 motherboard, cooler master 700W PSU and have a decent 240GB SSD with 16GB RAM.
The biggest bottle neck is my GPU, a HD 6770 from my old rig. It works fine and I can run most games on low to mid settings with 30-40 FPS however I know it needs to be the next thing upgraded..
My problem is that it is going to be a couple of months until I can afford the GPU I want, in the mean time I have found another 6770 I can purchase with a crossfire bridge for a cheap price that will only delay my purchase by about a week. I am wondering if it is worth the small cost to purchase the second 6770 and run them in crossfire until I can afford the R9 290X card I want and will I see a decent performance increase in the modern games that I am already playing?
