I decided to get 2 RX 480s in a crossfire config instead of a single GTX 1080 because I am just planning to play with ultra settings in 1080p [I guess you could say I'm ancient like a Intel Core 2 Duo].

Yeah, instead of one RX 480 I am going with 2 since I want to semi-overkill my 1080p experience.

I was originally going with a Cooler Master v650 for one GTX 1080. My common sense told me I would need a better power supply than that. But I went to Cooler Master's PSU Calculator thing and it said I would only need under 500w???!!!! That is not right. Maybe it is and I am making a fool of myself. But it doesn't seem right.

I won't be doing any overclocking [Atleast I Guess].

Any help/ideas?

Okay thanks, but what do you mean by wasting one rx 480?
