yes you should be fine with what you have. However, what i'm about to say is very important. IF you want to crossfire, make sure that the games you are playing support it! A game that dosen't support it or has poor support will give you screen tearing and lower fps (battlefield 1 is a great example of this) my advice is to get the best SINGLE graphics card within your budget. Again, if the games you are playing support it, then you are fine; if not... well then that's a big investment down the drain.

I agree with the Single card, but 1070/1080 is over my budget :) so i get 1 rx480 and in the near future i`ll take another one. Even 2x rx480s are "weaker" than the 1080. Here in Bulgaria 3x rx 480s costs like 1x 1080 so...
If my psu is goin to be fine for 2 i`ll be more than happy :)
Btw when you said it will be fine does it mean w/o overclocks to the cards and cpu ?
Sorry for the bad english, hope you can understand me :)
Thanks again.
