Hi,
I have a gaming computer that currently has an AMD 8320 CPU and 2x Gigabyte Radeon 7870 OC GPU's in a 2 way Crossfire.

I am thinking of upgrading my CPU to an Intel i5 4460 (1150 socket).

Would my GPU's be compatible with the i5 4460? I have heard and seen stories on the internet about Radeon GPU's not being compatible with Intel CPU's.

Here is the link for the current specs for my PC: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/czKH9W
Here is the link for the upgrade specs for my PC (the only things to purchase are the new CPU & motherboard): http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/tpbttJ

Thanks
Jake

P.S.: If you would like to comment on one or both of the PC specs, feel free to! :)

There is no such thing as a compatibility issue between a CPU and a GPU unless I'm gravely mistaken. The only issue I see with your build is the new motherboard has bad support for crossfire-the PCI lanes are setup as x16x4 which would hinder the performance of the card installed on the x4 slot. Might want to consider a slightly better model.
