That'll be worse. Left it with a single weak GPU.

dude i was talking about ur first build fx 6300 with hd 7850 is a good budget build
and also fx 6300 is better than fx 4300 and not much price difference

 

[ksham]

True, but the budget is broken as is. You want to push it more over the budget?

it is just 10$ maybe he can push it fx 6300 will give him a better performance overall it is a small price for the gains

Taking into consideration the very first question of the post....do this search in amazon.com or tigerdirect @ wormslayeer?

Asus FM2 F2A85-M Pro 4GB Quad Core Radeon Bundle

Looks great except the card you get is a notch higher than the 6670 for crossfire

Good point. Thanks. I'll put it up.
