Hi everyone,
I've had some help on the forum already regarding part picking and the advice was really useful, I'm getting down to the finer details now and would appreciate some help regarding GPU's and RAM.
My Build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/psmzxY
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 1500X 3.5GHz (£170)
CPU Cooler - AMD Wraith Spire Cooler (Stock)
Motherboard - MSI B350 Tomahawk ATX (£100)
Memory - Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 (£65)
Storage - Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM HDD (£60)
Storage (OS) - Sandisk SSD PLUS 120GB 2.5" SSD (£48)
Video Card - Gigabyte Radeon RX 570 4GB (£168)
Case - Corsair SPEC-ALPHA (Black (£65)
Power Supply - Corsair RMx 850W 80+ Fully Modular (£109)
Overclocking GPUs
I was wondering how much extra power is required if I plan to overclock my GPU. I have heard some people say an extra 150W but that sounds quite a lot, especially if I plan on adding a second GPU in crossfire.
Crossfire Support
Are all GPUs compatible for crossfire support, providing you use two identical graphics cards? Also I'm split between RX 480, 570 and 580; if I'm building on a budget will the 570 be sufficient for 1080 60fps?
Cheers, PT.
