that power supply is too small. for crossfire i would be looking at no less than 750W and likely 80+ gold.
also, the 1070 is just a bit cheaper and uses less energy. it doesn't perform quite as well, but thats only if the game supports crossfire.

1. MSI makes different B150 boards. We don't know what board you picked.
2. That is an extremely bad power supply choice for this type of system. Not putting you down, just telling you to steer clear. You need at least 650w and good quality. That one is not good quality. Here is a list of good quality supplies. Choose Tier 1 or Tier 2 ONLY.

3. In my opinion, you are better off with a 1070 than two rx480. There are a lot of reasons to not consider crossfire. I suggest you research more.
4. I always tell people not to buy a fancy keyboard when your money can still be used to improve your system. A basic looking mech keyboard can save you at least $70. If this already had top of the line stuff selected, i'd say go for it. Same goes for the mouse and mouse mat.
5. Build your machine on www.pcpartpicker.com. Go there and "Start A System Build", it's self explanatory.

I think you missed something here. I link a list and give you specific instructions to pick Tier 1 or Tier 2 ONLY. You link a power supply on that list under Tier 3 asking me if its good. If you are spending $1600, you need to budget for a better power supply. That is the worst part to cheap out on. That's why people take the time to write huge lists of what you should and shouldn't buy.

Going for anything less than GTX1080 for 1080p 144hz monitor is useless. If you wanna save money and go for GTX1070 then go for 60hz or 75hz monitor instead of 144hz monitor. For 480x and GTX1060 even 75hz monitor is useless.
