Yep u are welcomed ^^

Quick question: Could I use a GTX 560 Ti with this build instead?

 

[batuchka]

That Asrock 870Extreme is 8/8 Crossfire out of the box

 

[mugabuga]

So it wouldn't work with Crossfire?

 

[batuchka]

Nvidia GPUs in multi GPU configuration is SLI not Crossfire ^^

 

[mugabuga]

Totally missed that error, sorry. But it won't work?

 

[batuchka]

Not w/o a sort of hack

 

[ScrewySqrl]

it won't work with *multiple* GPUs, a single 560 would be fine
