Hello there

I'm planning on buying a new computer. I'm from Belgium so I'll link to a Belgian seller, which is the cheapest here.

I still can't decide which GPU I should take, my budget is around 1500 euros and I'd love to stream aswell.

You've got a good gpu setup there but you can save some money and just get a single R9 Fury to max out 1080p. Should get you down on your budget target while still having a lot of GPU power.

On games where crossfire isn't supported it will be better and on games where crossfire is supported you wont notice the difference.

In reality most benchmarks now focus on 1440p because a lot of the newer generation cards can easily beast 1080p without much issues. To be honest I ran 1080 in most games fine with my old gtx 970 OC edition. It was only after the upgrade of monitor to the rog swift 1440p / 144hz did I decide to upgrade to a 980 ti for the extra horsepower

If it wasn't for the monitor upgrade and I was still playing at 1080 I would still be shuffling about with my 970..

The system you propose will easily do 1080 without any issues let's face it, unsure why you would rather go crossfire than just getting 1 strong gpu though

instead of 2x 390 just get 1 980 ti ? would probably work out to be the same price, and would definitely save on power / heat

But you marked the answer above as "best solution" so why are you asking more?

Seriously now, I have a GTX 960 and it does play every new game at 1920x1080 with no problems. And what's more, it uses less power that the ATI card that you have there, no need for that 1000W monster. Think about that.
Because of that low power I was able to add an older GT 730 that I had around, dedicated only for PhysX - I like playing Fallout 4 with the FLEX effects and a dedicated card for that helps a lot.

As for the "tests" that focus on 1440... I suggest that first check the prices for those monitors.
