Hi I am building a PC and have a few bucks left over. But I am wondering if it's worth getting another r9 270x (I can get it pretty cheap) and run crossfire. Plus it would look nicer too.
1. Will my CPU bottleneck it?
2. Will my MB handle it? (has 2 pcie x16 but the second becomes a pcie x8 when running SLI)
3. If my MB can handle it, will it automatically switch to a x8, x8 configuration? If not, how do I change it and can I change it?
** I prefer not to overclock but that's probably because I've never tried yet.
Specs:
CPU: fx6300 (hyper 212 evo cooler)
GPU: R9 270x (possible crossfire)
MB: MSI 970
RAM: 4x4GB DDR3 1600mhz
PSU: Rosewill 650W Modular
Storage: 120GB SSD + 500GB HDD
Cooling: Adequet
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
